On this programme, we found out how the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Medicine successfully conducted the city's first robotic-assisted pelvic fracture surgery
We then took a closer look at measures introduced by the Education Bureau that aim to attract more students and nurture talent in the science and mathematics fields.
After the break, we discussed the recent death of Cambridge University's youngest black professor. A inquest has officially opened into the death of Jason Arday, a case involving accusations of plagiarism, and intense media scrutiny.
And to wrap up the show, we chatted with an aviation expert about a new study which found that flight attendants and pilots were at the highest risk of dying from radiation-related cancers – more so than people who work with radioactive materials. How can they protect themselves?
