Science is many things but at its core, it is fundamentally human - to strive to understand, to seek out, and to know.

And as we strive to do find out more about the world while adhering to strict codes of conduct & ethical boundaries, it is that human element that can sometimes cause the trouble - where the search for answers collides with what is morally questionable.

To discuss one such instance, Jonathan was joined by Gina Perry, writer, science historian, and author of ‘Behind the Shock Machine’ & ‘The Lost Boys’.
