Quentin hears about the Birth of an Ocean - in the Afar triangle of the Horn of Africa, which is breaking away from the mother continent; the science behind this week's headlines on artificial sperm from Newcastle University; and the Easter Island compound, Rapamycin, that could help us all live to an older age.
