It’s a special bonus episode this week as we wanted to showcase another podcast we think you’ll like, Hormones: The Inside Story, and an episode about the genetics of type 2 diabetes.

S6.01 Baby brain, baby body: the genetics (and epigenetics) of reproduction
We’re going back to the womb to explore the genetics of how to make babies - from finding out how birthweight is linked to the risk of diabetes to investigating the multifaceted role of the hormone prolactin in pregnancy and the role of epigenetics in the placenta.
S5.23: Birds and bees… and sardines: the genetics of animal behaviour
In this episode we’re taking a look at the birds and the bees - not like that! - from the unusual migratory habits of European blackcaps and the ‘greatest shoal on earth’ to the division of labour in a beehive, we’ll be exploring the role that genetics plays in shaping animal behaviours.
S5.09 Nature, Nurture and 'The Wobble'
Presenter Dr Kat Arney explores the importance of randomness in genetics. How can we explain differences between individuals with identical nature and nurture? We look at how Ben Lehner’s worm-breaking research has changed our understanding of epigenetics.
S3.15 Pimp My Genome: the wonderful world of epigenetics
In this episode we take a look at the world of epigenetics - finding out if more than DNA passes on to the next generation, whether Darwin really was wrong, and how to pimp your genome.
