Adam Walton presents some of the highlights from Science Cafe programmes in 2014.聽聽 聽聽
We'll hear how Adam came face with the remains of a dodo at the Wales Millennium Centre, which made an appearance when curators of natural history collections came to the city. The "Oxford Dodo head" is a rare example of surviving tissue from this most famous of extinct creatures.

Comedian Robin Ince explains both his comedy and scientific influences - including Carl Sagan and his landmark series "Cosmos"
Former "Tomorrow's World" presenter Maggie Philbin came to Wrexham in the Summer with the "Teen Tech" roadshow event, and explains how she hopes to inspire young people to take up jobs in science and technology.

We hear how an aviation mystery from 70 years ago seems to have been solved by engineers at Glyndwr University. The Howard Hughes backed "Spruce Goose" transport plane only ever made one short flight, at low level above water, and its air-worthiness has been in question ever since. Adam tries his hand at a flight simulator which allows computer technology to prove that it would have been a successful flyer, if the project hadn't been abandoned shortly after the second World War.

Adam also goes in search of the natterjack toad; visits an abandoned brick works; goes underground into the largest Bronze Age copper mine in the world; sees himself prematurely aged by technology; visits the Airbus factory and meets a workshop full of robots.
