This week we explore the Pharaoh's tomb with Rachel and possibly discover the cause of the Curse of the Pharaoh. What's more, can it cure cancer? Rachel takes a look at Aspergillus fungus, how it causes disease but also has been used in experiments to cure Leukemia.
Victoria is up next with a fascinating look at how spiders might be manipulating the flashing of fireflies in order to attract more prey. It's brand new research and wild.
Kirk rounds out the show this week with a look at Mt Erebus in Antarctica. Not only is the most active volcano in the southern hemisphere, it has a permanent lava pool surrounded by snow and rains gold on Antarctica. This is a bizarre volcano.
