It's Part 1 of our Vaccination Nation Special, where we ask YSA's resident (future) Doctor, Tegan Dobbie about the role vaccines play in shaping our nation, how we use them to save lives and the history of vaccines. Stay tune for Part 2 next week where we ask ethical questions vaccines in society.

t's Part 2 of our Vaccination Special on Lagrange Point! We ask YSA's resident (future) Doctor, Tegan Dobbie about the ethical issues relating to vaccines, how we can tailor them for our own uses, and how to vaccinate against zombies.

In this week's Lagrange Point, there is a politic-oil spill, nanotech arms to help you lift like an Octopi based scientist with a PhD, and we talk about how bling can be used to fight bacteria!

We transmute feathers into plastic, learn what animals can lie like humans and how the colour of a container can impact your taste!

We pay homage to the Kaiju genre by delving into the science behind giant monsters, the impossibilities of Godzilla, evolution, and what makes these movies so entertaining to watch.

We rock your world with some exciting geology news about silent earthquakes, continents drifting apart and our city of science Christchurch and their earthquake research.

Real life medi-gel, genetically engineered animals and simulated environments for war games. There is a lot of science fiction in the Hunger games, but there is also some which are becoming science facts thanks to hard working scientists!

This week we celebrate China's successful landing of the Chang'e-3 probe and it's rover Yutu, along with the ESA's latest galaxy watcher Gaia, and how you can solve the mysteries of black holes just by fiddling with your phone!

We zoom into our second racing special, where we talk about nitrous and turbo, spoilers and illegally charging your car. How do we get cars to race so fast, but stay safe? Tune in and rev up for the second part of this special.

It's Part 1 of our Racing Special, where we discuss how to keep cars safe even when they are driving fast and furiously. We talk about which seat is safest in the car, how we design cars to be safe, and how we harness explosives to help us in collisions.

Could dragons exist? This week we discuss the science of dragons and dinosaurs, how T-Rex evolved and overcame the King of Gore, and could warm blooded dinosaurs be a reality?

Internet that travels at light speed, laser internet off the moon, and an internet company bringing quantum physics to Minecraft! We discuss making an interplanetary internet, and ways to use LEDs for super fast planetary internet. We also dig into Qcraft, the Google sponsored mod for Quantum physics in the block based world.

We go on a sea safari and talk about the mysteries of the deep including the fish formerly known as sea-monsters, retiring and replacing the US Navy's hero dolphins with robots, and identifying different dolphins calls using the aquatic equivalent of Shazam.
