MYTHICAL MINDS: The Science of Vampires🧛‍♂️🩸

It’s time for another trip around the solar system on the BIGGER and BETTER Science Weekly!

In this episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly, we answer YOUR questions, have scientists battle it out to determine which science is the best, and this week we're learning all about the animal with the world's strongest bite!

Dan kicks things off with the latest in science news. First up is a fascinating discovery that cats can tell the difference between the smell of their owners and strangers. Then we find out why the ocean is getting darker and what that could mean for our planet. And finally, Dan is joined by John McFall, who lost his leg in a motorbike accident at 19, became a Paralympic sprinter and a surgeon, and is now training to be the world’s first astronaut with a physical disability.

Then, we answer your questions! Romy wants to know: What would happen if we didn't have any platelets in our blood and geneticist, Dr. Sara Goodacre from University of Nottingham, answers Romi's question: 'Who were the 'real' first people to be alive on Earth?'

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about an animal with the world's strongest bite!

In Battle of the Sciences, behavioural psychologist, Paul Davies, joins Dan in Battle of the Sciences exploring why people believe in the likes of vampires and unicorns...

What do we learn about?

· What's happening to the world's oceans
· The amazing journey of one remarkable man
· Who the 'real' first people alive on Earth were
· The fierce Kangal dog
· And in Battle of the Sciences, why we believe in vampires!

All on this week's episode of Science Weekly!
