How do you compare contemporary hurricane data with diary entries from 70 years ago? Can you create your own fractal vegetables? This week Dr Lauren, Dr Krystal and Dr Shane explore the big questions! Dr David Yong from the Australian National University joins the show to discuss elements, how stars create them, and the rare ones in our sky; and Sonya Pemberton, director of new film 'Cracking Covid' (streaming on ABC iview) talks about making her film during lockdown, and taking a view of the virus that’s wider than the day-to-day numbers.
Cracking Covid is currently available on ABC iView: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/cracking-covid
