Fatty food, Event horizon of a black hole, Gene editing technology patents
Adam Rutherford on what controls our preference for high fat food, the genetics of giants, and how to see the black hole at the centre of our galaxy.
Adam Rutherford looks at new evidence on what controls our preference for high fat food. There's a genetic detective story of giants in Northern Ireland. Adam also talks to one of the astrophysicists hoping to capture the first image of the event horizon of a black hole with a telescope that's the size of the Earth, and he hears about the patent battle over the revolutionary gene editing technology known as CRISPR-cas9.
