Fresh produce is something to be very careful around.
Thankfully, we don't have it here in the UK.
But if you're travelling in those places, beware the lettuce.
Coming up, why the UK's most iconic telescope is under threat.
Now, Ian, last week, the news broke that the iconic Jodrell Bank Observatory might be closing in 2028.
And this week, a huge range of celebrities and scientists, people like Tim Peake, Professor Brian Cox, Brian May, Jarvis Cocker, all signed a letter to try and save Jodrell Bank.
So what is this all about?
Why is it under threat?
Ian, the fact that this could have such a major impact on UK astronomy and £2.8 million, you know, it's not change that you find down the back of the sofa, but at the same time, the UK Research and Innovation Agency, you would think for something this iconic and important that they would be able to find that money.
So what does this say about our research priorities right now and where that's headed?
Critical science depends on this money.
People's jobs depend on this money.
Do you think they're going to find it?
Time to start taxing people for making mess in space and using that money to fund these sorts of trackers.
Ian, thank you so much.
Thank you.
A big thanks again to Ian.
