Using science to predict floods and save lives when they do strike; Looking deep into the origins of our universe and potentially some other universes; Asking what do dinosaurs sound like.

This week's programme asks how far science can help in giving early warnings of floods and saving lives when they do strike. It is over a year since Pakistan was hit by huge floods. The country is still rebuilding, but also now investing in improved early warning systems.
