The popular science show returns for its fourth run on RTE One in Autumn 2015. This year we investigate new research and technologies in areas such as Bodytech, Guts, Fear and Pain, and our science junkie presenters Aoibhinn, Kathriona and Jonathan offer themselves as our able and willing guinea pigs!

An increasing number of Democratic States are attempting to shut down and discredit human rights organisations especially those critical of government policies. What are the consequences for independent civil society if we cannot stem this growing backlash?

The Science Squad is back! From the smallest cells in our body, to the far reaches of outer space, Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin, Kathriona Devereux and Jonathan McCrea return to showcase exciting and innovative scientific research currently underway in Ireland.
