We missed it so much last week, we've turned this week's entire show into a great big Newsjam.
Among the subjects being discussed are the Ministry of Defence's Grand Challenge; the European Space Agency's ExoMars rover; personalised treatments for patients; Prince Charles' comments on GM crops; plus Muslim creationist Harun Yahya's assault on the theory of evolution.
We also travel to an ethanol plant in Guildford, Surrey, to speak to Hamish Curran, the chief executive at TMO Renewables. We discover why a detritus-loving bug found in nearly every garden compost heap could be about to transform the way the world makes biofuels.
The pod is at correspondent capacity: green technology correspondent Alok Jha is joined by science correspondent James Randerson, religious affairs correspondent Riazat Butt and environment correspondent David Adam.
