I'm your host, Nick Petrichau, and joining me today is Lizzie Gibney.

Lizzie, how's it going?

Well, thank you for coming on.

And you know, I've got a very interesting story, I think, this week to tell everyone about.

But I know you've got maybe even more than one to talk to me about.

Tell me what you are most interested to talk to me about this week.

So is this institute, I guess, sort of like a centre of mass that is attracting other things with its gravity?

Does this present any issues though? 'Cause you know, when you think about the big tech companies, you think of California, obviously it's a long way away, so i does it work having a AI safety capital in London?

And do you think that will be something that they look into in the future, or how do you see this progressing?

But is this sort of centre of gravity being in London enough?

Is there more that needs to be done to ensure AI safety?

We're not beating the stereotype here in the UK that we love health and safety by the sounds of it then.

For sure.

Well, I've got a story this week which is not really about health and safety at all.

In fact, this is about people maybe throwing themselves into danger.

So this is a story about how some ancient Egyptian princesses were maybe kicking some ass.

And it was a story I was reading in Scientific American based on a study in Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology.

Well the thing is we've not known about it for a long time because as is sometimes the way of archaeology, the bones of these princesses have sat basically unlooked at for more than a hundred and thirty years in the basement of the Cairo Museum.

But what researchers did when they were rediscovered, quote unquote, in twenty twenty is like, Oh, we could look at their bones, do some analysis and make some suggestions about what they were doing with their life.
