A podcast that brings you up to date with the promises of the future, made in the past.
It's impossible to keep up with the latest on everything. News media only has so much space, and as you doom-scroll seeking an update on cancer cures or flying cars, you'll find a million answers, mostly wrong, and many of them involving kittens.
Good news!
Hosted by journalist and presenter, David Curnow, "Where Are We At With...?" speaks to experts in the field to get the very latest on what's being done, and how far away your flying car or robot butler really is.
Where Are We At With Sweat? Part 2 (Excess Sweat/Hyperhidrosis)
We've heard about how our body makes sweat, what's in it, how we can replace what we lose, and when and why we produce it. But what happens when our body gets its wires crossed and starts pumping out perspiration when or where we don't need it? Or maybe we need a little, but when our brain clicks the "Order Now" button, it accidentally requests way more than we were hoping for. Excessive or unwanted sweating is known as hyperhidrosis, and it affects around a million Australians. Professor Neil Simon is a neurologist who also treats people who suffer from the condition. It's time to get our sweat on again, in "The Resweatening!" When too much sweat really is more than enough.

Where Are We At With Urban Microclimates?
The global climate is changing faster than ever due to the actions of humans. But your local climate is too. Simple decisions like the colour of your roof, the location of a tree on a footpath or the material used in a children's playground can all have cascading effects on small-scale weather patterns. Perhaps it just raises the temperature a few degrees, or maybe it creates a hail storm where there wouldn't have been one, or flash-flooding that should never have happened. Dr Negin Nazarian from UNSW explains Where Are We At With Urban Microclimates?

Where Are We At With Sweat?
Humans are one of the few species of animals that use sweat to cool down. What's in the sweat, how it's made and how we replace what's lost have long been the focus of scientists, athletes, and companies trying to sell you recovery drinks. Join Professor Hugh Dunstan as he explains why products like Gatorade are only part of the answer, why sugar is legally required in an electrolyte drink, and how our bodies actually change the composition of the fluid depending on why we are sweating.
