- Description
- Beyond the Lab is more than a program just for science nerds. Each month David Murray tells amazing stories about real people and the sometimes surprising ways that science affects us all. It's a program that looks far beyond the beakers and the lab coats to explore that fuzzy region where the world of science collides with the world of everyday life. Beyond the Lab is for anyone with a curious mind and a weakness for a good story but, that said, there's also enough 'how', 'why' and good ol' academic rigor to keep even the most hardcore boffin happy. After all, why should you worry about the truth getting in the way of a good story when the truth is remarkable enough as it is?
