Biology and chemistry are not so different.

Having worked with Prof. Sabine Flitsch at university, it was a delight to meet with her again to film her lecture on the different classes of biomolecules you might find.

How do birds *know* which way is south to migrate for the winter?

In his lecture Prof. Peter Hore summarises the decades of work that went into figuring this out, and the unique brain chemistry we now know as "magnetoreception".
