EUSci: Edinburgh University Science Podcast #47

Dreary March weather getting you down? Just hole up near the radiator and let the EUSci podcast warm you. This week our host Frank Dondelinger guides us through stories about telomeres, the link between bilingualism and Alzheimers, the anti-laser, and much more. So sit back and enjoy our take on the multilingual beam of science stories that made the headlines (or at least the science pages) of newspapers over the past couple of weeks.
