Leading Edge brings you the latest news from the world of science. Geoff Watts celebrates discoveries as soon as they're being talked about - on the internet, in coffee rooms and bars; often before they're published in journals. And he gets to grips with not just the science, but with the controversies and conversation that surround it.

Royal Society Summer Exhibition
Geoff Watts visits the Royal Society to see some of the science on display. He talks to Professor Barry Gardiner about why listening to trees can help the timber industry, and, with Professor Guan Zhong Yan tests out a tiny computer designed to measure how you are moving.
Live Earth
This weekend, rock stars will gather to spread the message about climate change. Geoff Watts talks to the band Nunatak who will be performing for the concert, not live from Wembley, but live from Antarctica, where the scientists who make up this band are based.
