Nathan Woodling tells us about his work on understanding Alzheimers and the discoveries around glial cells (the non-neuronal cells of the nervous system) rather than neuron cells that change the most as we age. His team are going through a list of hundreds of genes aiming to pinpoint the exact genes that change and cause Alzheimers.

Dr Andrew Morley shares with Em and Pixie his research into a critical history of anaesthesia, where he’s looking at previous and current incidents, how they were dealt with and what was learnt or changed. Andy’s primary source of research is an incident book discovered at Guys Hospital and he has been interviewing the staff involved with the events recorded in there between 1955 and 1974.
