Ten Things: December

This year our Ten Things column each month is concentrating on science and scientists.

Where a group is described as “great” or “important” this is not intended to imply these necessarily the greatest or most important, but only that they are up there amongst the top flight.

  1. Why we sleep
  2. Why we dream
  3. Why cats purr
  4. Placebo effect
  5. How paracetamol works
  6. Gravity
  7. Why it takes more genes to make a tomato than a human
  8. Why we yawn
  9. Dark Matter
  10. Big Bang & Inflation
