| (5) The skin we're in | Friday 6 January 2006 15:45–16:00 (Radio 4 FM) | Len Fisher wonders how the body would work if we had a go at remaking ourselves. | Sunburn, rashes, cuts, spots, chafing, wrinkles—our skin brings us no end of problems—vulnerable to damage, loosening as we age. What if instead of being rough and red or pale and pimply, our skin could be as vibrant as a bird's plumage or a lizard's scales? Contemplating his own skin in a theatre dressing room, Len is joined by consultant dermatologist David de Berker and biomimeticist Julian Vincent, to wonder what it would be like to shed our skin for something completely different. | http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/redesigninghumanbody/pip/sbrpt/ |
