Science Weekly: Changing our bodies

Susie Orbach joins the pod to explore cosmetic surgery, including an intimate new trend. We also visit a memory-making exhibition, and discuss the appointment of Britain's new science minister.

Is being slim, youthful and wrinkle-free now a moral responsibility? Psychotherapist Susie Orbach joins us in the studio to discuss how humans now see their bodies as creations. Warning: the discussion on labiaplasties may not be suitable for all listeners.

Susie's book, Bodies, is out now.

For more information about our first ever recording in front of an audience, check out the website of London's Science Museum. The recording will take place at its Lates event on Wednesday 26 May and admission is free. We begin at 9pm until 10pm. Our special guest will be psychologist Dr Kevin Dutton.

Email science@guardian.co.uk if you would like to come along. Please put "Museum podcast" in the subject line.

We visit a sound installation exhibition that tries to makes you remember. The Pattern completion exhibition is on this week at Gimpel Fils in London.

In the newsjam we discuss David Willetts' appointment as Britain's new science minister, men taking over the bodies of virtual women, why women are risking their lives by marrying younger men, and how a call from your mum is as good as a hug.

The Observer's science editor Robin McKie and Guardian science correspondent Ian Sample are also in the studio.
