Description

Could a scientific burger compete against the fast food giants? We fear not!

You will need:
• Meat - A tick capable of inducing alpha gal syndrome, a disease that makes you allergic to red meat.
• Garnish - Lettuce grown in space. (WARNING: it is more susceptible to bacterial infection than that grown on Earth).
• Buns - A short but thick guide to the human buttocks with Heather Radke. Why do we humans have such large behinds?
• Something sweet - We chose the humble baobab seed. An unusual tree indigenous to Madagascar, the subject of an incredibly successful conservation project.
• Fries - Of course! The humble potato is threatened by climate change, what is being done to futureproof it?

Instructions:
• Who are we kidding! There is no scientific method!
• Bang it all together and feast your ears on this week’s show!
