This chapter explores innovative scientific breakthroughs, particularly a method to make skin transparent, reminiscent of H.G. Wells' 'Invisible Man'. It also addresses the return of bird flu and its implications, providing a lively overview of significant health and science news.
Ian Sample and science correspondent Hannah Devlin discuss some of the science stories that have made headlines this week, from a new technique that uses food colouring to make skin transparent, to the first case of bird flu in a person with no known contact with sick animals, and a study looking at premature brain ageing in young people during Covid.
