Acclaimed neuroscientist Fred Gage is a serial trailblazer. Decades of dogma were overturned when his team confirmed the adult brain continues to make new brain cells. Incredibly, now scientists can even turn skin cells into brain cells with a chemical push! But, if their potential to treat brain diseases or damage is to be realised, transplanted cells need to be able to call your brain home. Stanford biologist James Weimann has a major advance.

Dreams feel meaningful—drawn from a mishmash of content from our waking lives. But it's a hot debate among scientists, who are yet to confirm why we sleep, let alone dream. Neuroscientist Matthew Wilson's extraordinary experiments involve eavesdropping on the sleeping minds of rats. He proposes dreaming is central to how we remember and learn.

Reading the minds of others can be darned hard. Are their intentions good, bad or indifferent? Whether we hold people accountable for their behaviour depends on the answer. Scientists probe questions like this through experiments. Philosophers traditionally appeal to intuition and argument. But now a young band of experimental philosophers are taking armchair philosophy to task, and digging for data.

Quality Street was the first ABC weekly program dedicated to Poetry. It began in 1946 and ran for 27 years ...ending in 1973. What we are going to hear today are two programs, featuring AD Hope and Kenneth Slessor, from the later years of the show ...from April 1972 and March 1971.

My First Aquantance with Poets is from April 1972 and features the then Emeritus Professor of English at the Australian National University, poet and essayist, Alec Derwent Hope. He talks about four poets who had left a lasting impression on him

Readers Robert Peach and Patricia Kennedy
Producer Julianne Ford.

The Poetry of Kenneth Slessor is from March 1971. Slessor is perhaps best known as a war corrspondant but he was also one of our finest poets. This program went to air three months before his death.
