The Science Show 18/05/2013 – How Cocaine addiction is different

next show on Cambridge 105, Saturday 15th June at 2.30pm.

COCAINE ADDICTION is DIFFERENT

Dr Karen Ersche tells about her research into cocaine addiction. The work investigates the finding that cocaine addiction affects some people and not others. Also, unlike other addictions, there are no substitute chemicals that can be used instead of cocaine. However Karen Ersche’s research is looking at a possible candidate. The Science Show’s Roger Frost asks about the use of terms such as addiction; habit and compulsive behaviour.

Karen works at the Department  of Psychiatry in the School of Clinical Medicine, University of Cambridge: www.psychiatry.cam.ac.uk/

Followed by Fact or Fiction with Chris Creese talking on cosmetic uses of cat litter and the statistics of being bitten by a shark or having a coconut fall on you.

Securing the future of Community Radio

Cambridge 105 Radio is the Community broadcaster for the city and South Cambridgeshire.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

You can support Cambridge 105 Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution.
