    London Games Festival kicks off, UK gene breakthrough for childhood epilepsy,

    31/03/2026 | 5 mins.
    Alโ€™s running you through a very modern mix: London Games Festival turns the city into one big playable space, UK genomic science pulls a major epilepsy-linked diagnosis out of the โ€œdark genomeโ€. After the break, space science gets strange โ€” microgravity may mess with sperm navigation โ€” and Appleโ€™s iOS 26.4 UK age checks arrive with equal parts safety intent and privacy drama.

    Londonโ€™s new biotech lab space, UK physics funding cut backlash, meningitis B outbreak briefing, Windows 11 emergency fix

    30/03/2026 | 6 mins.
    Alโ€™s back in your ears with a very London Monday mix: shiny new lab space opening up in West London for biotech teams who actually need benches, not buzzwords โ€” while UK scientists kick off about deep cuts to theoretical physics funding. Then itโ€™s a straight public health update as UKHSA publishes its technical briefing on the meningitis B outbreak response, plus what the NHS is doing on vaccines. After the break, a rare sperm whale birth gets properly documented (yes, itโ€™s as incredible as it sounds), Microsoft drops an emergency Windows 11 fix for sign-in chaos, and Baldurโ€™s Gate 3 hotfixes the hotfixโ€ฆ again.

    UCL hormone patches for prostate cancer, UK deepfake detection push, AI โ€œscientistsโ€ debate, Minecraft Tiny Takeover

    27/03/2026 | 7 mins.
    London does what London does best: quietly drops a UCL-led trial suggesting a simple skin patch could treat locally advanced prostate cancer as well as injections โ€” with real potential to widen patient choice. Then itโ€™s a very 2026 combo of deepfake detection work from DSIT, the UKโ€™s age-assurance direction of travel, and MPs asking what we actually know about kids, phones, and brain development.
    After the break, Nature gets philosophical (and a bit nervous) about โ€œAI scientistsโ€ automating parts of discovery โ€” while labs are also getting squeezed by the unsexy reality of pricey computer memory. We finish with regulators turning up the heat on child safety onlineโ€ฆ and Minecraft launching Tiny Takeover, because of course the babies are running the place now.

    Last-second rocket abort in Norway, UK trials app limits for teens, and a keyboard Android lands on Kickstarter

    26/03/2026 | 7 mins.
    Alโ€™s on in London after a proper space tease overnight: Isar Aerospace gets the go-ahead in Norwayโ€ฆ then aborts in the final checks. Back on Earth, City Hall grills TfL with automated vehicles in the mix, and the UK pilots app limits, social media bans and digital curfews for teens at home. After the break: a God of War patch aimed at nasty save issues, and a BlackBerry-style keyboard phone makes a very 2026 comeback on Kickstarter.

    UK 2G switch-off warning, Britainโ€™s airborne climate lab grounded, sodium-ion battery cold-weather leap, TfL refreshes Baby on Board badges

    25/03/2026 | 7 mins.
    London gets a tiny-but-mighty commute update as TfL redesigns the Baby on Board badge โ€” because sometimes a bit of visual signalling does more than a thousand glares. Alan Leer also breaks down the governmentโ€™s latest numbers on getting a million people online, plus what the UKโ€™s 2G switch-off guidance means for older phones and those sneaky โ€œsmartโ€ devices you forgot even exist. After the break, itโ€™s a proper science gut-punch: Nature reports the UKโ€™s main airborne climate and pollution research aircraft is being switched off. Then we end on a brighter note with a Nature Communications sodium-ion battery chemistry result built for extreme cold โ€” and a quick check-in on the UK games industry as TIGA calls for support.
