Twice a week, the Guardian brings you the latest science and environment newsThemes and summary (AI-generated based on podcaster-provided show and episode descriptions):
➤ Science and environment news •Space exploration and antimatter physics •AI effects on cognition and conflict •Health, hormones, supplements, infectious disease •Climate and geopolitics •Ecology, invasive species, water crises •Investigative reportingThis podcast delivers reported explainers and interviews on current science and environment news, often tying new research to the wider social and political contexts shaping how science is funded, regulated and used. Across the episodes, the hosts speak with scientists, clinicians, economists, journalists and policy experts to unpack what is known, what remains uncertain and how evidence is gathered, sometimes highlighting disputes about methods, bias or misinformation.
A major strand focuses on health and medicine, including infectious disease outbreaks and vaccines, sleep and dreams, brain and mental health, ageing, metabolism and weight loss, and the evidence behind popular supplements, hormones and other wellness trends. Several conversations examine how online culture and marketing can accelerate unproven interventions, and what clinical research says about benefits and risks.
Another recurring theme is technology and its consequences, especially artificial intelligence: how AI systems might influence beliefs, change the way people think, and be deployed in high-stakes settings such as warfare and biomedical research (including efforts to reduce animal testing). The show also ranges into fundamental science and discovery, from space exploration and the search for life beyond Earth to particle physics and the challenges of handling exotic materials.
Environmental reporting appears frequently, covering climate negotiations and policy choices, energy transitions, water scarcity, invasive species, plastics research, and the role of Indigenous knowledge and economics in conservation. Alongside these explainers, the feed occasionally includes investigative narrative journalism connected to the Guardian, applying reporting techniques to scientific, environmental, or science-adjacent stories.
