science hotspots, part Two
Certain areas around the world are a magnet for scientific activity. In this series produced for the BBC World Service, we visit four of these places, and learn what makes them unique.
PART 1




The BBC’s Richard Hollingham begins this week in Malaysia, the world's leading producer and exporter of medical rubber products. Malaysia's exports are now so popular that its natural rubber industry struggles to meet demand. Hollingham discovers how Malaysia is coming to terms with being a victim of its own success.
PART 2






Heavy engineering has played a very important part in Romania's economy. The BBC’s Richard Hollingham visits Romania to look at the impact of political and economic change on industry in this country.
