When Science Finds a Way - A new podcast by the Wellcome Trust that lifts the lid on the latest developments and research in science and technology. Hosted by the actor Alisha Wainwright, the podcast manages to be rich enough that you learn a lot about an issue that you didn’t know before, whilst not becoming too intellectual that you don’t know what on earth the scientists are talking about.

Episodes so far explore how our changing climate will affect our global food supply and the necessity of human infection trials. I was particularly engaged in an episode that looked at disrupted sleep patterns, and its relationship with mental health. And if you’re tired (who isn’t) there’s some interesting and detailed tips for better sleep.
