We’re kicking off the series with ‘Can we live forever?’, hosted by Crick Scholar Brian Cox and featuring Crick group leader Paul Nurse, author Andrew Steele, UCL researcher Linda Partridge and University of Oxford researcher Lynne Cox.

Please listen, subscribe and share it with your friends and family.

We’ll be releasing a new episode every Wednesday for the next 12 weeks, and we need your help to get A Question of Science to the top of the science podcast charts.

What’s next?

In each episode, Professor Brian Cox and a panel of guests tackle audience questions about some of the biggest science challenges facing society today. Can we cure cancer? How do you separate nutrition fact from fiction? What do climate change and the march of AI mean for our future?

Each week, you'll spot Crick colleagues alongside other names from within science and beyond, including British geneticist Adam Rutherford, chemist and astronaut Helen Sharman, journalist and environmental activist George Monbiot, biologist Giles Yeo, author Jeanette Winterson, doctor and broadcaster Kevin Fong and You, Me and the Big C’s Lauren Mahon. We hope you enjoy it.
