Since plants have to mate and produce offspring while rooted to the spot, they have to be pollinated – by wind, water, or animals – most commonly insects. They use a surprising array of tricks to attract pollinators: striking colours, iridescent ligh... more

Unbeatable science dialogues. In this world of negativity, it’s nice to tune out and tune in to Melvyn Bragg’s science discussions with various scholars. I beam a smile when I find an episode that I’ve not heard yet.

The unfortunate individual thinking mb is rude, interrupting ,leaves me almost lost for safe words, what a sad ,unhappy, narrow ,ignorant and socially inept individual, a “karen “ no doubt in life and a joy to be with,I’m sure.
MB is what bbc was for. Sadly those at top now out of touch with reality.
The others ,esp of course,sir R A. only reason I still pay licence.
Our history is destroying our future. Completely disconnected from reality. Hypocrisy and parasitism of the rich. Wipe them off the face of the planet
