02 – Are We Losing The Fight Against Resistance?

01 – How do insects smell?
In this, the very first episode of the Science of Feeding the World, we talk to Cassie Sims, PhD Student at the University of Nottingham and Rothamsted Research. We dive straight into the world of how insects smell and what this means for the food we eat. By understanding the chemical processes going on in the insect antennae we find out how insects can find each other, communicate and have sex (stop sniggering at the back, you).
