In this programme, Chris and Xand van Tulleken explore the latest understanding of how we all grow.
They uncover the reason our childhood is longer than any other creature on Earth and reveal the communities of microbes - our microbiome - that we cultivate throughout our lives.
They uncover the mysterious trigger for our transformation from child to adult and, for the first time, show the remarkable spark of life that is emitted when sperm and egg first meet. "

"In this programme, Drs Chris and Xand van Tulleken discover the everyday miracles that keep you alive.
They explore the extraordinary lengths our bodies go to in order to keep our organs working at every moment of every day.
They see how powerful reflexes keep us safe from danger and uncover the amazing mechanisms our bodies call on to repair damage.
And for the first time ever, they see exactly how our immune system's killer cells go into battle against deadly infection."
You may gather that I am fascinated by the incredible machinery we all possess, that intricate dance of a trillion cells working in concert to enable the experience we call consciousness to emerge. Utterly astonishing.
The learning process particularly entrances me, it defines much of what it means to be human, and an individual. It also underpins that quest for musicianship, which is relevant to many of us here.
Methinks I need a new get rich quick scheme !
Insatiable curiosity about life and the world around us ~vs~ a tin of meat product !
Easily mistaken for each other I guess...

Oh... and no, I am not earning a bean from any of this, but then you all knew that, didn't you ?
I do hope that a better understanding of how we are designed and function helps guide us all towards better learning, a better understanding of our health and the need to protect it (and, oh boy, did I get a wakeup call on that score recently!), and that understanding in turn, helps some of us to gain more fulfilment in life, in whatever way that may be.
Given, with generosity of spirit and enthusiasm for life, enjoy !
