Will any old sperm do?

Dr David Miller

What determines the compatibility between sperm and eggs? David will enlighten us to the complicated processes that go into constructing the perfect sperm, how this process can be hijacked, and how genetic inheritance can skip generations.

Why are we getting fatter?

Dr Tony Goldstone

Are our expanding waistlines and overeating due to poor self control, genes, hormones, food addiction, bad food choices, lack of sleep, laziness, or the multitude of fast food outlets on our high streets? Tony will reveal why our failure to reduce how much we eat may be a case of fighting biology rather than poor self control.
