About this episode

The episode discusses Christian Eriksen's health after a collapse, the role of a heart device, and various scientific topics including space repairs and decision-making in dinner choices.

Coming up, Danish footballer Christian Eriksen is reportedly "doing well" after collapsing for a second time during an international match. Did a tiny device called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator save his life? Plus, whether magnetic immune cells in the liver can drive a pigeon's homing instincts; how astronauts repaired air leaks on the International Space Station; and we ask whether maths can help us decide what to have for dinner.
