Science Weekly: Exquisite Bodies

Kate Forde, curator of the Exquisite Bodies exhibition at the Wellcome Collection in London, tells us about her freak show exhibition of medical wax models.

Take our video tour.
WARNING: contains disturbing images.

Kate also reveals what is behind the red curtain!

In the newsjam we look at liver cancer rates and binge drinking, whether people really walk in circles when they're lost, how the US navy wants to use sea water as fuel, and why a female shouldn't trust the sexual display of a male (stickleback).

Professor Will Stewart from the Royal Academy of Engineering talks to us about the ethical implications of putting our lives in the control of autonomous systems and how trucks will soon be able to drive themselves.

The Guardian's James Randerson and Nell Boase make up our panel.
