Lauren welcomes scientist Roger Highfield as we go 'Back to School' through September. Author, journalist and Science Museum director talks the science of Harry Potter and levitating frogs. All month we're asking writers, thinkers, artists and academics to wax lyrical about their respective fields, and tell us why they think it's important to keep on learning. We'll also delve into their musical collections to see how song helps to inspire them.
