Space farming: Plants could provide three essential elements for humans to live in space: oxygen to breathe, water to drink, and food to eat. NASA expert John Gruener has been working on the development of a slow-release fertiliser that could be mixed with the lunar or Martian soils to grow plants in a regenerative life support system. Learn more about this in a webcast at 5 am Friday.

The Power of Sound: What bearing do the sounds we hear affect the way we think, act and feel? Join a chat with Joshua Leeds, co-founder and creative director of Applied Music & Sound and an authority on psychoacoustics - the study of the effects of music on the human nervous system. The session begins at 1 pm on Thursday.
