Swedish author Karin Altenberg talks about her new book 'Breaking Light'.
Stage play 'Pioneer' won a Fringe First last year and is returning to Edinburgh next week at the Traverse Theatre. It imagines the first human mission to Mars in 2029 and asks why we must try to make other planets our home. Director Jack Lowe joins Janice in studio.
And scientific glassblower turned artist Julia Malle discusses crossing the boundaries of art and science in her contribution to one of the exhibitions at the Edinburgh International Science Festival this year - 'How The Light Gets In'.
