Presented by Ian Sample and created by Jason Phipps with Nicola Davis
This week on Science Weekly with Ian Sample we meet science writer and broadcaster Gaia Vince to examine the profound problems about the human-shaped future of planet Earth raised in her new book Adventures in the Anthropocene: A Journey to the Heart of the Planet We Created.
In her travels she also witnessed ingenious but perhaps doomed efforts to offset the worst results of climate modify, such as whitewashing a mountain in Peru, generating artificial glaciers in Ladakh and trying to hold back the ocean in the Maldives.
Ian is joined by Nicola Davis, commissioning editor of the Observer Tech Month-to-month, to congratulate the winner of the £10m Longitude Prize 2014 – antibiotics – and the new millionaire mathematicians developed by the Breakthrough prize.
Also, they analyse the pros and cons of taking lower-dose aspirin, as new analysis suggests it may possibly lessen the chance of pancreatic.
