You can still pick up all 60 of our podcasts at http://cambridge105.fm/podcasts/science-show/ or go to the iTunes Store and search for 105 science or Cambridge 105. Finally, many thanks to astronomer Paul Fellows and the dozens of guests who informed us how science takes shape in Cambridge today. Bye from me, Roger Frost.
