Extinction
Description
Combining in-depth studio discussion with exploratory films and on-the-spot reports, Dara O Briain's Science Club takes a single subject each week and examines it from unexpected angles. In the third episode, comedian Mark Steel learns how to deflect an incoming asteroid, neuroscientist Tali Sharot tastes beef grown in the lab, Alok Jha examines whether it makes sense to conserve pandas, and Dr. Helen Czerski reports on experiments to bring back species from extinction.
