In this episode of Science Refresh, Grace and Meg each share a science story that caught their eye in the month of November. 

Grace talks about the recent NICE recommendation for cognitive behaviour therapy to be offered as a treatment for menopause.

We all know Meg loves coffee - but this month she walks us through the newly introduced coffee beans in Colombia, one of the largest coffee exports in the world, which have nutritional, economic and environmental benefits. 

Finally, following the topical news of CRISPR-Cas9 approval in the UK for Sickle Cell disease, Grace and Meg discuss their thoughts, as well as alternative research about CRISPR-Cas9 and other diseases.
