  1. Tom Whipple has Beaver Anal Glands.

    Testing Testosterone Testing
    BBC Inside Science

    Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth has announced that the US military will be screening military personnel aged 30 and older for testosterone deficiency. Those found with low testosterone levels will be offered voluntary hormone replacement therapy. The secretary says this is to ensure “a healthy, capable, and decisively dominant fighting force”. Tom Whipple is joined by Professor Joe Herbert from the University of Cambridge to discuss why jacking soldiers up with testosterone may be the best idea. [NS1.1]

    Marine Biologist Kathryn Ayres, from the non-profit organisation Beneath the Waves, describes a newly observed behaviour in orcas in which they collaboratively swim so hard into a dead sunfish it explodes. Is it a teachable moment for their young or is it just for fun?

    Finally, we have Kit Yates, our resident mathematician, to reassure Tom that although AI might one day actually kill [NS2.1]us all, at least it can disprove an 87-year-old mathematics conjecture[NS3.1].

    Presenter: Tom Whipple
    Producer: Dan Welsh, Alex Mansfield, Imy Harper, Tabitha Taylor Buck

  6. I see that those bastions of unbiased journalism, Laura Kuenssberg and Fiona Bruce, were paid by the BBC circa £410,000 and £350,000 respectively. What an insult to the licence fee payer.

  13. Today's BBC News shit-take is that some people had positive experiences of forced adoption in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, so they discuss that instead of those who had negative experiences of forced adoption which is the subject of an official government apology.

  23. If there was a domestic "Black" British Broadcasting Company (BBC) channel run by "Black British people"

    (as there is similar services like the Asian Network and various services for countries & regions outside the UK)

    then it "could" be filled with stories of attacks/abuse by people in positions in authority and of incidences of pathetic abusive behaviour carried out against "Black people" and made into huge dramas (and "disciplinary meetings") BY "management" where "Black people" become the ones being disciplined for not reacting correctly to the abuse and, of course, the abuse by the abusers has neverending excuses made for them.
