With 6 live chats and over 100 questions coming in, it’s the end of another long but fun day…

Scientists have been on the ball and as Callum said “I’m still a bit asleep but I’ll soon wake up when I have to start typing 100mph

In live chats students have been asking: “was cancer around always? if so did neanderthals or early homo sapiens get cancer?

and  student corinnetucker asked “does religion affect your science?”

Scientist Clare said: “religion can affect science although not mine personally. Sometimes religion has an impact on what scientists are allowed to do because of the way people regard things

In the Genes Zone we’ve also been finding out what the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth is called,

and Cancer Zone scientists have been lending a hand explaining what the Higgs boson is.

Cells Zone has gone mental today, with students asking over 70 questions, including: how big are sperm and blood cells and what happens when opposite cells meet.

With another jam packed day of live chats, who knows what tomorrow will bring?!?!
