Instant Genius is a bite-sized masterclass in podcast form. In this week's episode, we talk to Dr Jamie Craggs.

He's the Aquarium Curator at the Horniman Museum & Gardens, London, and founder of Project Coral, a research project focused on developing techniques to induce coral spawning events in closed system aquariums.

Jamie tells us all about the biology of corals and reveals why they are so important for the planet.
