Universities come alive for the new semester this week so presenters Dr Shane, Dr Laura and Dr Ailie kick-start your brain with new information on how fungi perfume attracts bugs, and naked mole-rats defy the laws of mortality. They are joined by Dr Céline Valéry and PhD candidate Priscila Cardoso from the School of Health and Biomedical Sciences at RMIT University, who share their new approach to engineering antibiotics; and palaeoanthropologist and geochronologist, Professor Andy I.R. Herries from the Department, Archaeology and History, at La Trobe University, presents his work in fossil analysis.
