Welcome back to The Science Basement Podcast!

Our guest this week is Andrew House, who is a PhD student in Wildlife Biology at the University of Helsinki, Finland. He works with a large sample of Atlantic Salmon and studies the fat composition in these fish during their early development (from the stage of embryo up to 2.5 years into their life!).

...and, of course, it wouldn't be an episode of the TSB podcast without a science anecdote. This time we talk about the medaka fish, the little japanese fish that went to space!

This is the last episode for Season 1 of TSB Podcast, see you after the summer break for Season 2!

This week the team discusses the loss of Andrew House and what could be for consoles. PSVR is also getting some welcome updates although the guys aren't sure it will matter in the short term. Visit Gamerstoo.com for comments or to hear old episodes.
