This morning’s Cancer Zone live chat with Fernhill school was pretty ‘EPIC’ with students asking:

do you believe in aliens and if so, do you think that they would have cancers to?

Student redpanda has also be asking “which section of the globe/country has the highest cancer statistics?

 

Meanwhile  Cells Zone have been chatting about whether “it would be possible to genetically engineer a “biological battery” using the electrical impulses from nerves etc?

And student mobees11 wants to know why scientist Katie chose to study human egg cells.

 

Genes Zone students have been finding out how far back in your family you can trace a gene  and what would happen if your DNA suddenly disappeared.

There are loads more live chats tomorrow, so students keep your questions coming!
