The CSIRO will press ahead with cutting up to 350 jobs, despite receiving federal government funding of  $387.4 million over the next four years. With reports today  of cuts to the team working on the national climate model,  we discuss what these potential cuts would mean for climate projections. 
Also in this edition we talk citizen science, preventing infection at the nail salon plus we celebrate our SES volunteers for Wear Orange Day.
