In the last of our mini Science Weeklies, Alok Jha is joined by special guest Mick O'Hare.
He's the editor of New Scientist's popular series of books with titles such as Does Anything Eat Wasps? and Why Don't Penguins' Feet Freeze?
The latest edition is called How to Make a Tornado and concerns the strange world of indestructible sandwiches, fake poo, resurrecting dead dogs – and many of the other odd things that scientists do in their quest for knowledge.
The rest of the team is back in the studio next week. In the meantime, have a listen and post your comments on the blog below, find us on Twitter and Facebook, and, if you're that way inclined, peruse our archive.
