EUSci: Edinburgh University Science Podcast #23

We bring you another EUSci podcast, full of science facts, and a bit of Big Bang Theory. This week, our host Bethan Lowder takes you through stories about hands and feet, galaxy formation, oil drops navigating a maze, and much more. So sit back and enjoy our take on the oily beaker of science stories that made the headlines (or at least the science pages) of newspapers over the past couple of weeks.
