In this episode we asked whether boycotting Woolies will make a difference to the conflict in Gaza. We spoke to the organisers of the boycott, BDS, and we asked economic and political analysts about how we measure the success of such efforts. The truth is, it’s really not an exact science.

The Science Inside
The Science Inside is produced by The Wits Radio Academy with funding from The Department of Science & Technology. Each week the show goes inside the science of a major news item, natural disaster or cultural event, such as the salvage of the Costa Concordia, fracking, a train crash or the shortage of ARVs. In addition to expert interviews, each show features listeners’ questions, answered by a university student in the appropriate field. A regular feature, “The Science OUTside”, also takes the show on a trip out of the studio. A second regular segment is “2 Minute Science”, which looks at future developments and how science can change the world. Tune in to Vow FM every Monday at 6pm.
