A look back at some big stories of human health from 2018. Why do scientists keep studying the same genes, why are Aussies still not eating enough fruit and veg, and what can we learn from the catastrophic 1918 flu pandemic?

We discuss 2018 in tech news — from social media behaving badly to 'deep fake' videos and concerns about My Health Record.
