Leading Edge brings you the latest news from the world of science. Geoff Watts celebrates discoveries as soon as they're being talked about - on the internet, in coffee rooms and bars; often before they're published in journals. And he gets to grips with not just the science, but with the controversies and conversation that surround it.

"If what interests you are new and exciting ideas, it's science you should be turning to. And whether it's the Human Genome Project or the origins of the Universe, Leading Edge is the place to hear about them."

European Space Research
Government ministers from 18 countries are gathering in The Hague next week to decide the course of Europe’s Space programme. Geoff talks to UK Science minister Lord Drayson ahead of the meeting and Paul Rincon reports on the likely future of Exomars and manned space travel.
Stem Cells and Bioengineering
Has the news this week of the world’s first organ transplant using adult stem cells ended the debate on embryonic stem cells? Leading Edge visits a laboratory to look at other innovative new ways to rebuild body tissue.
The Worlds First Nuclear Family
Excavated graves in Germany reveal the remains of the world’s first nuclear family.
In this week’s Proceedings of the US National Academy of Sciences, Dr Alistair Pike and colleagues describe how the family were found with the bodies of the parents facing their children and their arms entwined.
Forensic Tattoos
A tattoo is for life...and beyond. Forensic scientist Dr Tim Thomson thinks tattoos have a special value when it comes to post mortem identification.
