Get ready for another big and brilliant dive into the world of science on this week’s Science Weekly! 

We’re exploring the incredible science of the human heart, uncovering how it pumps, why it’s so powerful, and the secrets hidden in every beat.

In Science in the News, one of the UK’s most critically endangered mammals might be making a comeback, Jeff Bezos’ space mission has taken a major step forward, and Abi Crane from the University of Southampton joins Dan to reveal details of a newly discovered T. rex species.

Then it’s time for your questions. Mathew wants to know how allergies work, and James Clark from King’s College London explains exactly why we have a heart.

Dangerous Dan returns with a tiny but terrifying creature, the blue ant, one of the most dangerous insects on Earth.

And in Battle of the Sciences, TED Talk speaker Chip Colwell steps up to argue why museology, the science of museums, deserves the crown.

Plus, Professor Hallux is on a mission to build a better heart, but can he improve on one of nature’s most impressive machines?

This week, we learn about:
– How the human heart works
– Why allergies happen
– A brand new species of T. rex
– The mysterious and deadly blue ant
– How museums help us understand history and science

All that and more on this week’s Science Weekly!
