We asked some of the world's best scientific minds to talk about their work, then handed them a jigsaw puzzle to see what happened next.

Puzzling Science is our new monthly series: one scientist, one jigsaw, one wide-ranging conversation about the science and tech shaping the world right now.

Expect big brains, big ideas, and the occasional jigsaw-based meltdown.

First episode next week MONDAY 17TH AUGUST AT 6PM BST/1PM EDT
