Due to programming changes, WRS is no longer producing The Lab
The Lab: Pathology and forensics
Tuesday, 30 June, 2009CSI might be a good television program, but most specialists will tell you the science behind the show is more or less rubbish. Pete Forster looks into the real deal on this week’s edition of The Lab.

The Lab: Creating plant life
Tuesday, 23 June, 2009With over 10,000 new plant varieties registered every year, the science of new plant life is alive and well. Pete Forster takes a look.

The Lab: The science of smell
Tuesday, 16 June, 2009Pete Forster explores the sense of smell, talking to a master perfumier about the complexities involves in modelling the smell of a rose, and the scientist behind the famous ’sweaty t-shirt experiment’ into the role of the olfactory sense in sexual attraction.

The Lab: On the brain
Tuesday, 9 June, 2009Pete Forster attempts to do what science has so far failed to; understand the human brain. How much do we know about how the centre of our decision making works? And how much will we ever know?

The Lab: The science of sleep
Wednesday, 3 June, 2009Pete Forster somnambulates his way through a programme that explores sleep, the recovery mechanism known to be common to almost all forms of animal life, but whose evolutionary benefit remains little understood.

The Lab: Sailing the seas of science
Tuesday, 26 May, 2009Pete Forster explores the cutting edge of sailing technology, from the world’s first solar-powered boat - currently under construction in Switzerland - to a boat that would leave the Americas Cup-winning Alinghi team far behind, with a top speed of 61kts, possible because it flies, reducing drag from the water.

The Lab: Dinosaurs
Tuesday, 19 May, 2009Pete Forster has a dinosaur-themed edition of the Lab.You’ll find here everything you always wanted to know about our prehistoric friends, including how much a dinosaur skeleton will set you back, and what’s wrong with the extinction theory known as the ’irriduim anomaly.’

The Lab: Hacking with the best
Wednesday, 13 May, 2009Pete Forster dons his white coat and safety goggles and takes a look through the week in science, visiting the prestigious Las Vegas hacking contest Defcon, and assessing the scientific virtues - or otherwise - of the latest Dan Brown thriller to hit the silver screen, Angels and Demons.

The Lab: Cows' DNA mapped
Wednesday, 6 May, 2009Pete Forster has the first in a new series showcasing Swiss innovation, this week featuring a report on the Lausanne-based scientist’s recently-completed project to map the complete genome of cows, an interview with Keith Campbell - the scientist behind ’Dolly’, the first successfully cloned animal - and an enquiry into how mice’s sense of smell is so acute that it is able to detect illness in fellow mice before symptoms develop.
