EUSci: Edinburgh University Science Podcast #29

If you're living in Britain, you can't have missed that elections are rapidly approaching.

But first, our host Alan Boyd guides us through stories about opportunistic bees, virtual copycats, volcanoes on Venus, and much more. So sit back and enjoy our take on the virtual eruption of science stories that made the headlines (or at least the science pages) of newspapers over the past couple of weeks.
