BRAIN BOX: A High-Tech Science Question Chamber 🧠⚡

It's time for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the world of science on this week’s Science Quest!

In Science in the News, humans have travelled further into space than ever before as Artemis II orbits the Moon, scientists achieve a world first by mapping the DNA of a monkey, and Richard Wall from the University of Bristol joins Dan to explain the spread of a dangerous flesh-eating fly and why experts are keeping a close eye on it.

It’s time for your questions too. Ryan wants to know why Earth spins on a wonky axis, and Brian Diffey from Newcastle University explains how your body makes vitamin D from sunlight.

Dangerous Dan introduces the secretary bird, a fierce and fascinating hunter with a very unusual way of catching its prey.

Then it’s time for Brain Box, where Dan’s high-tech question chamber puts top scientists to the test. This week, analytical chemist Kirsty Penkham takes on the challenge.

Plus, in Kitchen Chemistry, K-Mistry explores the science of solids, liquids and gases, turning your kitchen into a chemistry lab.

From deep space missions to DNA discoveries and dangerous insects, this episode is packed with brilliant science.

What we learn about:

• NASA’s Artemis II mission and its journey around the Moon
• A world-first breakthrough in mapping monkey DNA
• The threat of a flesh-eating fly
• Why Earth spins on a tilted axis
• How the body makes vitamin D from sunlight
• The hunting skills of the secretary bird
• The science of solids, liquids and gases

All that and more on this week’s Science Quest!
