Listen "Dark matter, Stellar Crime Scenes and Immunodeficiency"
Episode Synopsis
Dr Shane and Chris KP geek out over astrophysics with Prof. Virginia Kilborn and Dr Suzie Sheehy. Who discuss what makes up a galaxy and address the exciting question - do dark galaxies exist?Then Dr Emily Edwards and Johanna B Kelly discuss newborn screening. World class standard is to test for 80 diseases in the newborn heel prick test. In Australia we currently test for 28, as we haven't updated our testing since the 1990s. Labor confirmed their election promise of $38.4 million on April 6th 2022, to “end the testing lottery” of our very outdated Newborn Screening policy. Unfortunately, a federal budget senate hearing announced that Labor is no longer implementing this world class national newborn screening program of 80 diseases, budgeted for rollout in 2023.Program page: Einstein-A-Go-GoFacebook page: Einstein-A-Go-GoTwitter: Einstein-A-Go-Go
