<p>On this weeks Book(ish) I sit down with science presenter and childrens author Dr Niraj Lal to talk Full Circle by Scott Ludlam. Our conversation includes how bicycle couriering and tuna fishing helps appreciate science communication, the way systems influence technology and science, and what to do to fight a feeling of hopelessness.
