Magic isn't only for hijinks, mind, and has been used as a tool for science in all sorts of ways. You can ask magician and psychologist Dr @GustavKuhn of @PlymUni all about it at CURIOUS Live on Dec 11 @IFLScience https://t.co/ZgRKfVlJwi

Do you know where your cat is? It's like that 60s PSA, but seriously, a free-roaming Mr Crumbles could be cooking up some wildcat hybrids - and that's a big problem. @IFLScience https://t.co/5VftjyLBtC
