Dr Shane, Dr Linden, Dr Lauren and Dr Catherine bring you this week's hottest science, including Victoria's driest June on record, new research into safe levels of air pollution, Japan's moonshot, defensive behaviour in different coloured fairy wrens, delivering the flu vaccine via a band-aid, and petunias' fragrance.

They also interview Professor Benjamin Solomon from the Department of Medical Oncology at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and also Dr Clare Weeden from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research, about their work with different types of lung cancer.
