| The Science Show | Amanda Peet explains the shortcomings of general relativity, how quantum mechanics provides answers where general relativity falls short, and how the whole situation is tied up by string theory. The Science Show | As climates change around the world, habitats for some plants and animals are becoming unsuitable. Some ecologists are considering moving species across physical barriers to regions that are close to their habitat. The Science Show | A Tasmanian researcher has been on a conifer rescue mission, travelling the world collecting their seeds and bringing them back for replanting in a land where they once thrived. All in the Mind | (Repeat) Part 3 of 3: The Office of the Patient's Friend was the first patient advocacy service to operate within the confines of an Australian psychiatric hospital.

The Health Report | Australian researchers from the Jean Hailes Foundation suggest that to prevent weight gain in mums of young kids it's better to engage them in a community support program than give them one-off dietary guidelines. Big Idea | Part two: Surviving The Century. Does science have the answers to help us save our planet? Australia Talks | Food production has to double without using more water, more fertilisers and more land by 2050, if there is to be enough to feed the world. The answer is improved soil fertility. But how can Australia recover some poor and degraded soils by that deadline?
Catalyst | Meet the first three finalists in the running to become Australia's favourite scientist for 2010. Catalyst | Meet the final three finalists in the running to become Australia's favourite scientist for 2010. Catalyst | Most young men go through it - a time of feeling immortal - when the thrill of an adrenaline rush leads to reckless behaviour. But why would such behaviour evolve, when it's potentially harmful - even lethal? Catalyst | Ships, planes, helicopters and snow tractors can take scientists to most parts of Antarctica's harsh environment, but not all. So the captain of Australia's icebreaker, the Aurora Australis, is designing a new kind of craft that will allow researchers to visit some of Antarctica's most inhospitable places.
Innovations | A Tasmanian designer has invented an electric three-wheeler that could revolutionise mail delivery.
