Time, Species and David Attenborough

This week on Lost in Science, Stu explores new research into how animals perceive time differently — and how that perception is tied to the pace of their lives. Why does a fly seem to react in slow motion compared to us, and what does that reveal about survival, metabolism and evolution?

Also on the show, we celebrate the 100th birthday of David Attenborough by taking a tour through some of the remarkable creatures that scientists have named in his honour — from geckos and spiders to ancient fossils and deep-sea wonders.
