Is Crowd Science Answering Your Burning Questions?

Has Crowd Science, the new World Service programme that aims to answer questions sent in by listeners, hit the mark? And, a listener from Uganda is disappointed with Health Check.

Crowd Science launched in November last year and since then has answered dozens of listener’s questions. Could humanity be wiped out like the dinosaurs? Is there micro-life on Mars? Can we be too clean? A few weeks ago the team answered the question of Simon St Onge from Canada - Why are dogs so different? Rajan Datar spoke to him to find out if he was happy with the outcome, while editor and presenter of Crowd Science, Rami Tzabar and Marnie Chesterton explain what they think the role of the programme is in today’s world.

Also, Mary from Uganda tells Rajan why she believes a comment about stuttering made on Health Check was racial stereotyping and explains she is disappointed it went unchallenged.
