I just wanted to take a minute to tell you about a brand-new podcast series we're releasing later this week. It's a totally new format for us, where we source the most in-demand questions from Google, from our podcast listeners and magazine readers, and from our own team. And we put these questions to world-leading experts to help you get to grips with the most important ideas in science and technology. We'll do all of this in short, concise 30-minute doses. We're calling it everything you wanted to know about science but we're too afraid to ask, though we're probably going to have to shorten that a bit. To kick things off, we're going to do a special six-episode series on physics, speaking to the brilliant BBC presenter and nuclear physicist

Professor Jim Al-Killili. Jim and I will be talking about space and time, the multiverse, end of the universe and just about everything in between. So make sure you don't miss an episode and subscribe to us on iTunes, Spotify or ACAST. And don't forget to follow us on Twitter at Science Focus so you can send us your questions for future episodes. We'll see you there. This podcast is sponsored by Name, Audio and Focal.
