Lasers determining the sex of calves, the search for life on Mars, online treatment for depression, and why radio transmitters are being strapped to the backs of bees.

A special edition recorded at the Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand. We are joined by a panel of six New Zealand based scientists to talk about their work. Hear how lasers are being used to sort sperm for the dairy industry. There's research on how to test for life on Mars. We find out about the viruses which attack bacteria. There's a new online system to treat depression and anxiety. New genetic techniques are tracking the spread of ebola and other viruses and predicting their impact. And why radio transmitters are being strapped to the backs of bees.
