This week we’re finding out how to make your Burns Night stellar, deciding whether we have what it takes to control a herd of bison, discovering what’s causing sci-fi blue jets visible from the ISS, asking whether Suki can recognise us from voice alone, and working out how much we now need to fear the criminal potential of macaques.

If you find some fun science that you think deserves its place on the show, we'd love to hear from you! Get in touch with us at lockdownsciencepodcast@gmail.com!
