Tim Talks Space #6 - Worms in space

Join astronaut Tim Peake and guests live during lockdown to talk about all things space - and beyond! In this episode, we’ll be talking about space worms! We’ll be joined by Tim Etheridge (another Tim!), Associate Professor of Integrative Physiology at the University of Exeter, to discuss why we launch worms onto the International Space Station, how they can help us understand muscles and what they can tell us about the science of ageing. Thanks for all your questions before the show – we’ll try our best to get to them! Please also put any in the chat and either Tim might be able to answer them live.
