G'day! It's ABC science reporter Jacinta Bowler, back with you in the hot seat after a few weeks away.
Have you heard of "Australia's Edisons"?
Edward and Donald Both built light-weight iron lungs, humidicribs, electric cars and fax machines in the early 20th century.
Their innovations likely saved thousands of lives, and their inventions could be found everywhere from the battlefield to the MCG.
But almost no one remembers their work, or how to say their name (it's Both like moth, just in case you're interested).
My colleague Ellen Phiddian has dusted off the archives to bring the forgotten South Australian innovators back to life in a new story that's worth checking out.
By the way, in a 1941 Women's Weekly article that called Edward Both "Australia's Edison" he's also described as a "tall, good-looking, brown-eyed inventor".
Whether it was his eyes or the instant-read ECG machine he invented, it's clear he was a heart-throb.
In other news, is internet addiction a real disease? For our Science Friction series Brain Rot, Fiona Pepper has written about how "being online" can sometimes become a big problem.
And in the audio space, Lab Notes heads to the north-west tip of Tasmania, where the air is the cleanest in the world, to find out what secrets the wind is whispering (or maybe howling depending on the day).
Finally, have you ever imagined throwing your phone into the ocean, moving to a place with no reception, or living your life as a Luddite?
In the final episode of Brain Rot, Ange Lavoipierre sees if going phone-free is even doable in 2025, and if it's worth it.
