Speaking of ground-breaking research, Sir Tim Hunt talks to our roving reporter Anna Lacey about the Nobel prize-winning secrets he found lurking within sea urchins.

And Cancer Research UK’s Chief Executive Harpal Kumar talks about the charity’s new 5-year research strategy, aimed at improving cancer survival.
