becky read and helen lloyd

Uncover the truth behind some urban science myths.

What is the Coriolis effect and does it have anything to do with plugholes in Australia? Can science help us go ghostbusting? Can mobile phones cook an egg, or your brains? And what do glowing gherkins have to do with astronomy? All will be revealed in this whistle stop tour of the weird and wonderful world of science. Fact or fiction - you decide.
