Turi is a guest on The Mark Thompson Show, with Kim McAllister. Trying to remember people you may have once dated. Did Turi once upon a time spill red wine on a famous person's white shirt?

The call to take her place in baseball history, one that Alyssa Nakken had long prepared for, came in the third inning Tuesday night, when the San Francisco Giants' first base coach was ejected for responding to what he said was a racist remark. Nakken, an assistant who works with Giants players on baserunning and outfield defense, became the first woman in MLB history to coach on the field after the ejection of Antoan Richardson. When called upon, she left her spot in the batting cage, replaced her sweatshirt with her No. 92 jersey and grabbed a batting helmet. “I think we're all inspirations doing everything that we do on a day-to-day basis and I think, yes, this carries a little bit more weight because of the visibility, obviously there's a historical nature to it,” she said (via the Associated Press) after the Giants' 13-2 victory over the San Diego Padres. “But again, this is my job.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scientists this week announced hopeful results in two of the big COVID-19 vaccination trials. Trudie Lang, Professor of Global Health at the Nuffield Department of Medicine, Oxford, describes some of the methodology used, what the efficacy statistic means, and how the novel approach of inserting mRNA rather than deactivated virus parts, is so exciting. Prof Charles Cockell has been investigating how bacteria might be grown in space on lumps of asteroid to extract precious minerals, and as Kim McAllister reports, his lab is itself in orbit. And it is just a few weeks since the UK, and several other countries, signed up to a set of bilateral agreements with the US called the Artemis Accords. These are an attempt to update previous outer space treaties on how countries - and indeed companies - might mine and use resources in space, given that no-one can currently legally claim sovereignty. As Dr Thomas Cheney of the Open University and Prof Jill Stuart of the LSE describe, the Accords have been greeted in certain quarters with some discord. Presented by Marnie Chesterton Produced by Alex Mansfield Made in collaboration with The Open University.

A new process to remove sea-lice from farmed salmon using Neonicotinoids has been trialled in Norway and could come to Scottish fish farms in the future. Neonics have been banned for use in arable farming because they are damaging to bees. Anna Hill asks Gareth Moore, Editor of fishfarmingexpert.com to explain the details. It's flower week on Farming Today, and for many growers this time of year would see them supplying weddings with blooms and bouquets. With coronavirus putting those on-hold, Rebecca Rooney has spoken to one grower in South Gloucestershire who has switched to selling online. Travel restrictions mean farmers are worried of a shortage of sheep shearers. But it’s not just sheep that need shearing, there are now more than 40 thousand Alpacas in the UK and Kim McAllister has been to a farm in Edinburgh to hear how one shearer made it over from New Zealand after had to self-isolate in his camper van.
