Hail Stones, Brain Size, Auditory Processing, and Gut Health in Space

Join us for an engaging episode featuring Lucy Shiels, an audiologist from the University of Melbourne, who specialises in assessing and supporting listening difficulties in neurodivergent children. She investigates whether remote microphone technology can enhance focus for children with ADHD and autism in noisy classroom environments. Samantha Melrose, a graduate researcher under the supervision of Professor Patrick Humbert at the La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science, discusses her exciting research into gut health in astronauts exposed to low gravity environments and her Gastronaut-01 experimental mission to space on the rocket Mapheus-15 campaign in Kiruna, Sweden. In our weekly science news segment, we explore intriguing topics such as the structure of large hailstones and the evolution of human brain size. Tune in with presenters Dr. Shane, Dr. Lauren, and Dr. Ray for an informative and captivating episode.
