This week Dear Science ranges all the way from billions of light years away to right down to the microscopic.
Marcus explains to us how scientists are looking at black holes and neutron stars, and whether a black hole can swallow a neutron star whole.
Zooming right in, Marcus talks us through the CRISPR gene and how it is has been tested to treat deadly diseases within the body.
finally, Marcus explains all the controversies around the Dragon Man and other memebers of the human family tree, and whether we should see a restructure.
This week on Dear Science, Allan takes us through a whirlwind of science, touching on nobel prize winners, potential cancer-causing drugs and lead in London air from petrol.
Allan takes on a journey of the careers of Ei-ichi Negishi and Richard R. Ernst, both shemists who have contributed to the scientific world.
James learns about a scientific paper which said a drug called ranitidine created carcinogens in patients, which has now been retracted.

The week Marcus brings us mind boggling topics, which hurt the heads of both hosts and listeners alike.
Marcus starts off with seabed particles from potential supernova or neutron star colissions, and explain how this can teach us more about the universe.
James tries to learn about quasicrystals, which have patterns which aren't patterns. Marcus explains how nuclear bombs coming into play with this confusing topic.
The show finishes off with a quick chat about how human tissue from 1918 has taught us more about epidemics and pandemics.
This week Dear Science is a little bit shorter, but that doesn't make it any worse!
This week Allan talks to James and Aneeka about anti-matter and anti-matter stars and some of the complication which come with them.
