Sun, sea... and science

We delve into the whys of seagull behaviour, the science of sun safety and what makes ice cream such a chemical marvel.

It鈥檚 election time but over here in Science Land, we鈥檙e heading off to the seaside for our summer special.

We chat seagulls with Professor Paul Graham on Brighton beach and find out why they are so misunderstood - from what we call them to why they pinch our chips.

We bust some sun safety myths with dermatologist Dr Jess Felton and find out why ice cream is such a chemical marvel with chef Terri Mercieca.

And we join in the festivities at the Royal Society鈥檚 Summer Science Exhibition.
