How does the work our bones do influence their size, shape and resilience? Bioengineer Sandra Shefelbine combines number crunching with imaging and practical experiments. She talks to the Wellcome Trust's Daniel Glaser about understanding better how our bones support our bodies.

During the podcast a model of a cross-section of bone is discussed. This illustration on Wikipedia is similar.

This packed lunch event was recorded live on 8 April 2012 at Wellcome Collection.
