EUSci: Edinburgh University Science Podcast #42

A podcast legend has returned. That's right, this week the podcast will be hosted by none other than Edward Duca, he of the silky smooth voice and Maltese accent. Together with Laura Appleby, he will  guide us through stories about space-time cloaks, adult stem cells, unmasking deliberate HIV infections, and much more. So sit back and enjoy our take on the invisible accumulation of science stories that made the headlines (or at least the science pages) of newspapers over the past couple of weeks.
