The Science Inside is a weekly show that goes inside the science of major news events. We take a news story each week - from a missing plane to the world cup - and dissect the science angles involved. We indulge every scientific discipline, from biology to psychology, and incorporate the insights of scientists, journalists and researchers in order to tell interesting radio stories.
The Science Inside is presented by Bridget Lepere.
Production by Bridget Lepere.
Technical production by Kutlwano Gwinch Serame.
The show airs on Voice of Wits every Monday at 7pm.

South Africa is a water stressed country and to conserve the limited water resources, researchers realise that wastewater rehabilitation is necessary to supplement the already frail water infrastructures. Professor Miklas Sholz speaks to us about his research, which focuses on artificial wetlands reconstruction to rid communities such as the Alexandra Township of stagnant grey water. In the interview, he also speaks about ways in which the Jukskei River can be revitalised.
On Unscience we discover another way in which our brain tricks us into believing we knew what would happen the next moment. The study reveals that we actually do not have the ability to predict events, especially in that particular state.
