In the latest issue of The Helix, we celebrate the work of Charles Darwin. Natural selection is often referred to as an idea that would change the world. But, what exactly was this idea and how did Darwin develop his theory?
Did you know there are some wasps that like to eat their food while it is still alive. Creepy! And CSIRO want you to name Australia’s newest research vessel.
Plus we discover the desert goby - quite possibly the most remarkable little fish you’ll ever find. Learn all about this about this little fish and scientists who are hoping to keep it from extinction.
Also, find how a charcoal-like product called biochar that traps carbon, could help combat climate change. And we show you how to make it!
