With a degree in mathematics and mathematical physics from UCD, comedian Dara O'Briain is no stranger to science.

Dara's second book for young readers 'Secret Science' has just been released and he popped in for a chat with Alison Curtis.

They talk about how he put 6 years of science classes into one book, the mathematics of stand-up comedy and of course.. slime.

Dara plays Vicar Street on November 22nd, 23rd and 24th.
