Life Solved is set to spark conversation for curious thinkers and those who like to be in the know on the latest innovations in technology, medicine, the environment, social theory and beyond.
In each weekly episode, researchers talk in-depth about pioneering research, tackle thought-provoking questions, and explore life-changing innovations - from outsmarting criminals with VR and the evolution of cybersexualities, to how failure informs space research, and science could help you survive a zombie apocalypse.
