Jurassic Park (1993) ... we're so excited! This week we're finally taking a trip to Isla Nublar to walk with the dinosaurs! We're back to the topic of cloning and genetics with a dash of mathematics and an attempt to understand chaos theory! Freda does a Spielberg turnaround, Abi wants a feathered T-Rex and we have Freda's own dino expert Raph in to explain those Velociraptors!
