In the pod this week, Professor Geoff Sanders, a psychologist from London Metropolitan University, and Maya Mendiratta from the Science Museum's Dana Centre.
They discuss gender stereotypes and testing them with science. In particular, which sex has better arm control, and are men or women better when it comes to visual processing?
In the newsjam, we look at criticism of the UK's chief scientist, how an asteroid made the moon spin, and doubts about Charles Darwin's tree of life.
After new US president Barack Obama declared he wanted to 'restore science to its rightful place', we look at the team he's brought in to help him tackle climate change among other things.
Science correspondent Ian Sample is in the studio and, after a prolonged absence, Nell Boase returns with her wisdom. They battle it out to see who performs best when it comes to speaking 'speed gibberish'.
