The Science Show 27/07/2013 – the Smartpill arrives at Cambridge Spire Hospital

In this show we hear about a new pill that can diagnose you from the inside out. We also play the Science Fact or Fiction quiz to learn whether the moon affects our sleep, if a breathalyser can tell you’re burning fat, and if today’s thin film technology is really the best. And much more!

The Next Science Show  is on Saturday 10th August at 2.30 pm. Follow us on twitter @105science. Email us your science questions, news, and events at SCIENCE@cambridge105.co.uk

 

 

Inside Scoop on the ‘SmartPill’

A new medical procedure offers an innovative way for doctors to find out what’s going on inside the intestine. The ‘SmartPill’ is a tablet-sized device with sensors to take measurements inside your gut and transmit them wirelessly outside the body. This procedure is now available at the private Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital in Impington. We speak to consultant physician, Dr Stephen Middleton about the technology and its benefits.

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.
