The animal that causes the most aggressive wildlife incidents in Canada is probably not the one you’re picturing. We break down a Frontiers in Conservation Science study that tracks thousands of encounters and lands on a surprising culprit: elk, especially around campgrounds. We talk through why “cute” and “safe” are not the same thing, how seasonality can change animal behavior, and the simple hiking habits that lower the odds of a scary surprise on the trail, whether you’re camping, wildlife watching, or walking with your dog.

Then we shift into pet science with a study from Anthrozoos on snakes and kids. The key detail is not just what children think, but how fast a parent’s real-time comments can shape fear and “othering.” If you’ve ever wondered how to talk about animals you dislike without passing that fear on, this part will stick with you.

Finally, we’re joined by Kathy Plobloski, director of Lost Dogs of Wisconsin, for a practical, science-informed guide to finding missing pets. We cover Pet FBI, why centralized lost and found databases matter, why old-school flyers still reunite the most pets, and the concept of survival mode, where even a bonded dog may avoid you. We also dig into shelters, stray hold timelines, and microchip tips that only work if your info stays updated. If you’ve ever loved an animal, this conversation is worth saving and sharing. Subscribe, share the episode with a pet parent, and leave us a review so more families can find these tools when they need them.

A space telescope is quietly slipping toward Earth, and the rescue plan sounds like science fiction: send up an autonomous robotic spacecraft, match speed in low Earth orbit, grab the aging observatory, and gently push it higher before it burns up. We walk through the attempted save of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, why Swift is so important to astronomy, and how it acts like NASA’s first responder for gamma ray bursts that vanish in minutes but can outshine entire galaxies.

We also dig into the “why now” behind the crisis. Swift has lasted more than 20 years, but increased atmospheric drag tied to the Sun’s active solar cycle is pulling it down faster than expected. Then we break down the Link mission plan step by step: month-long approach, careful imaging, delicate latching at orbital speeds, and a slow reboost designed to protect an older spacecraft. If this works, it opens the door to satellite servicing, mission life extension, and even future ways to manage space debris and keep scientific work going longer without constantly launching replacements.

Then we shift into pet science with a serious question: does pet ownership protect against self-harm among teenagers and young adults with a history of self-harm? We summarize a study from the University of Manchester (published in Anthrozoos) and focus on the biggest takeaway: stronger emotional bonds with pets are linked with better outcomes, while simply having more pets is not. We also talk about what the study cannot prove, and why support systems are bigger than any single factor.

A kitten can look “a little off” on Sunday and be fighting for his life by Monday morning, and that reality changes how you read the science headlines. We breakdown Brix’s terrifying ICU stay, what we learned from the veterinary team, and why we’re still watching his recovery like a hawk.

First, we dig into a genuinely spooky health threat: Sporothrix brasiliensis, a cat-associated fungal disease that can spread to humans and other animals. We talk through what symptoms can look like, why experts are concerned about the fungus moving north, and how transmission differs from the usual “inhaled spores” narrative. We also cover the practical risk points for shelters, vet clinics, and rescue groups, including how long it can survive on surfaces and what disinfectants are effective when cleaning is done right.

Then we shift to FIP, feline infectious peritonitis, the diagnosis Bricks most likely has, even though his case is atypical. We explain how common feline coronavirus is, why cats don’t “catch FIP” directly from each other, and why wet FIP and dry FIP can look so different. Most importantly, we talk about the modern turning point: antiviral treatment like GS-441524, what monitoring looks like during recovery, and why starting early can move survival odds dramatically.

If you care about cat health, emerging zoonotic disease, and the newest breakthroughs in veterinary medicine, hit play, share this with a cat parent who needs it, and subscribe, rate, and review so more people can find the show.

A parasite that lays eggs in wounds and eats living tissue sounds like something from a horror movie, but it is real and it is making headlines right now. We break down the New World screw worm outbreak in Texas, what it does to animals, and why ranchers and veterinarians treat it as an urgent livestock health emergency. We also talk through the bigger picture: how infestations spread through everyday cuts and bites, why wildlife can make control harder, and how trade disruptions can turn a regional outbreak into a North American economic shockwave.

Then we switch gears to pet science with a deceptively simple animal behavior study that asks a great question: will your pet help you without being asked? Researchers hid a boring object like a dish sponge, offered zero rewards, and watched what happened when a familiar human “struggled” to find it. Dogs often step in like toddlers, pointing out the location or retrieving it, while cats tend to watch closely and decide it is not their problem unless there is something in it for them. We unpack what that says about prosocial behavior, domestication, and why “helping” is not the same thing as intelligence.

Our guest is Dr. Laci Brock of Stellar Arts, an astrophysicist who turned her science communication skills into a full-time space art business. Lacey shares how she builds multispectral paintings using real telescope imagery across wavelengths (think Hubble plus James Webb Space Telescope), what it takes to produce high-quality limited edition fine art prints, and how viral moments like “Meteor Geese” and her Artemis mini paintings sparked real “moon joy” online. We also get candid about generative AI, artist consent, copyright, and why the conversation is bigger than just aesthetics.

Your brain is way more flexible than your body. We start with a wild virtual reality study that asks a simple sci-fi question: could humans learn to fly if we had wings? After a week of VR training with motion tracking, participants don’t just get better at flying through rings and hovering over cliffs, their brains begin responding to wings the way they respond to arms. We unpack what that says about neuroplasticity, body perception, and why “embodiment” is the real magic behind great human-tech interfaces.

Then we shift to something you can try today with zero equipment: play with your dog for five extra minutes. A Royal Society study suggests short, focused interactive play like tug, chase, hide and seek, and rough-and-tumble can strengthen emotional closeness even more than adding extra training time. We share our own household chaos, the games that hype the dogs up, and why tiny daily interactions can matter more than you think.

Our guest, Melly Byrd (Melly The Science Geek), brings the big energy and the big brains. We talk about building a science communication audience on TikTok and Instagram, choosing topics that genuinely spark curiosity, and going deep on the biology of cannibalism, prion diseases like Kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob, and what mad cow disease taught the world about the food chain. We also get real about generational divides, phones in schools, and the growing push to limit generative AI so students can actually learn the skills they’re outsourcing.

A cruise ship, a rare virus, and a big question: when you hear “hantavirus outbreak,” what’s the real risk and what’s just scary headlines? We start by unpacking the MV Hondius hantavirus story, why hantaviruses can be so dangerous, and how infections usually happen through rodent exposure in dusty enclosed spaces. We also talk through what public health officials look for during an outbreak, including long incubation windows, fast testing, and why person-to-person transmission is typically very limited.

Next, we shift into pet science and stress. We break down a meta-analysis on whether the presence of dogs reduces human stress responses during stressful tasks. We focus on what the data actually supports: heart rate reactivity and self-reported stress and anxiety show clearer benefits, while cortisol and blood pressure results are less consistent. If you care about therapy dogs, animal-assisted interventions, or just why your dog feels like a walking exhale, this section gives you a grounded, evidence-based take.

Then we have a fun curveball guest: Matt Koff, an Emmy-winning writer for The Daily Show and the comedian behind the new YouTube special Cat Man (not for children). We talk comedy writing as a collaborative process, what it feels like to chase a bigger laugh, and Matt’s very real cat stories, including pica, vet bills, and the weird stigma people still attach to men who love cats.

A rare autoimmune disorder can feel invisible until it steals someone’s movement, and stiff person syndrome is one of the starkest examples. We break down what’s happening in the nervous system when GABA-driven “calm down” signals get disrupted by autoantibodies, why symptoms can escalate into severe spasms and rigidity, and why the condition has captured public attention through Celine Dion’s story.

Then we shift from symptoms to source: an experimental CAR T-cell therapy designed to eliminate the B cells that produce the harmful antibodies in stiff person syndrome. We walk through what a phase two clinical trial reported, including real-world changes like faster walking and fewer people needing walking aids, plus the caveats that matter for anyone following medical research such as side effects, small sample sizes, and unknown durability.

Pet parents get a deep dive too. Chronic kidney disease in cats is common, progressive, and often detected late, so we cover a promising approach involving AIM protein and recombinant AIM therapy (RAIM) injections, including how researchers tracked toxins like indoxyl sulfate and what survival outcomes looked like over a year.

Finally, plant scientist Dr. Vikram Baliga joins us to make botany feel urgent and strange in the best way, from ancient bristlecone pine “time capsules” to crown shyness and the science of how plants sense nearby competitors, plus a glimpse at nitrogen-fixing corn research that could reduce fertilizer dependence.

AI chatbots are everywhere now, and the real problem is not cheating or convenience. It is what happens to your brain when a tool offers a confident answer before you have wrestled with the evidence. We break down a fascinating study on generative AI and critical thinking that puts people in a city council scenario, forces a decision under time pressure, and tests how early versus late AI access changes argument quality, memory, and bias. The takeaway is practical for students, teachers, and anyone writing for work: timing matters, and “think first, then ask AI” is a stronger strategy than outsourcing the whole frame.

Then we shift into pet science with a topic that hits right as spring arrives: flea and tick medication for dogs and cats. These antiparasitic drugs are effective, but new research suggests residues of common ingredients like isoxazoline can persist and enter the environment through pet waste. That raises uncomfortable questions about non-target insects, nutrient cycling, and the tradeoff between protecting our pets and protecting ecosystem health.

Finally, volcanologist Dr. Sam Mitchell joins us for an Ask an Expert that moves from Antarctica to the ocean floor, where most of Earth’s volcanic activity actually happens. We talk seafloor basalt, subduction zones, disaster movies worth watching, and the geology behind Olympic curling stones made from granite sourced on a tiny Scottish island. If you like science communication that connects daily life to big systems, this one is for you.

The most convincing health claims are the ones that feel personal, and few topics are as personal as medical cannabis for mental health. We take on a huge Lancet meta-analysis that pulled together 54 trials and thousands of participants to ask a simple question: does medical cannabis actually help anxiety, depression, and PTSD more than placebo? The answer is uncomfortable, especially given how common “medical marijuana for mental health” has become, and we walk through what the evidence says, where the risks may be, and why this can lead to hard but necessary conversations between patients and doctors.

Then we shift to pet science based on listener requests and break down diabetes in dogs in plain language. We cover what canine diabetes mellitus is, what causes it, which dog breeds may be higher risk, and the classic symptoms owners report like increased thirst, frequent urination, increased appetite, and weight loss. We also flag diabetic ketoacidosis as an emergency, explain how diagnosis works through blood and urine testing, and outline what treatment often looks like with insulin, diet, exercise, and routine vet checkups.

Seventy thousand digits of pi is impressive, but the number that stuck with us is much scarier: about one in four high school students now reports sleeping five hours or less. We dig into the latest teen sleep deprivation data, what it means for learning, mental health, and emotional regulation, and why “just go to bed earlier” ignores adolescent circadian rhythm biology. When melatonin shifts later during puberty, early school start times can become a daily clash between the clock and the teen brain.

From there we head outdoors for pet science, exploring dog sledding and mushing through a surprising lens. A survey-based study from the Czech Republic frames mushing as a human-dog partnership shaped by empathy, ecology, and even spirituality. We connect those ideas to the Iditarod, its roots in the 1925 serum run, the extreme athletic demands placed on sled dogs, and the real ethical questions that come with a dangerous sport people feel deeply about.

Our Ask An Expert guest is Dr. Alex Dainis, a geneticist and science communicator who makes biochemistry unforgettable by taste testing amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. We talk sweet glycine, candy-like lysine, sulfur-packed cysteine, and why showing the process of science matters as much as the results. Alex also shares how ACS Reactions builds curiosity by running experiments where nobody knows the outcome at the start, plus her strongest argument for using honest uncertainty in science communication.

Think space is fast? Try outrunning time. We kick off with a clear-eyed breakdown of Project Hail Mary’s core science.

Using the Parker Solar Probe as our real-world speed limit, we map the math of interstellar distances to compare to the ability for Ryan Gosling to get to Tau Ceti in Project Hail Mary.

Then we turn to biology’s unforgiving rules. Could a years-long medically induced coma carry a crew through deep space? We explain how coma differs from sleep, why weeks mark a dangerous threshold, and the cascade of complications ICU teams fight daily—muscle wasting, clots, pneumonia, pressure injuries, and dysregulated hormones. We sketch what a future-ready, autonomous critical-care system would actually need to stabilize a human body for years, and why today’s medicine isn’t there yet.

Our pet science segment shifts from galaxies to living rooms, dissecting a viral claim about Sweden “banning” leaving cats home alone. We clarify the Swedish Animal Welfare Act, the twice-daily human check-in guideline for cats, and why cameras don’t count. You’ll hear how these rules protect animal welfare without criminalizing a normal workday, and why enforcement stories online deserve a healthy fact-check. It’s the same habit we apply to sci-fi: verify the source, understand the standard, and do right by the beings who rely on us.

A baby macaque clutching an orange plush shouldn’t teach us this much about biology, but Punch does. His quiet hold on a stuffed orangutan opens a door into attachment science, stress, and how primate societies enforce rules we often mistake for cruelty. We walk through why zookeepers reached for a surrogate object, how tactile comfort supports motor development and emotional regulation, and what happens when a first-time mother and a heat wave collide with the unforgiving math of survival. Along the way, we examine the “bullying” clips through a scientific lens—dominance, submission cues, and the essential role of maternal coaching—while celebrating glimmers of recovery as grooming and real hugs begin to replace the plush.

Then we shift from the enclosure to our living rooms. Flat-faced dogs remain wildly popular, but a new UK study across 14 brachycephalic breeds quantifies the toll: widespread BOAS, exercise intolerance, snorting, sleep disruption, and heat sensitivity tied to extreme skull shapes. We break down the grading scale, the stark numbers for pugs and Pekingese, and the three big drivers of risk—short muzzles, narrow nostrils, and excess fat around the airway. Not all breeds scored the same, and that’s the hopeful part: careful selection can nudge beloved lines toward open airways and stronger health without abandoning them.

Across both stories runs a single thread: love is better when it listens to evidence. From managing crowds around Punch to resisting the exotic pet impulse, from breeding away from extremes to helping current dogs breathe easier with weight control and heat care, small choices add up to real welfare gains. If this mix of heart and hard data resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more curious minds can find us.

A newborn brain can feel the pulse before it knows the tune—and that single insight opens a door into how early our minds start to organize the world. We kick off the new season by exploring two studies that hit close to home: one revealing that infants build visual categories and detect musical rhythm far earlier than many assumed, and another mapping the real‑world challenges older adults face when caring for pets they deeply love. The data is surprising, the implications are practical, and the thread running through it all is how we turn evidence into everyday decisions.

Our guest, Dr. Raven the Science Maven, brings sharp insight and contagious energy to the bigger question: how do we bridge science and public life? From molecular biology to a PhD focused on communication, from catchy vaccine tracks to hosting Pfizer’s Science Will Win, Raven shows how storytelling, music, and personal narrative make complex ideas land. We talk institutional barriers, the pandemic’s hard lessons, why every science degree should include communication training, and how her nonprofit, The Science Haven, sparks curiosity with projects like Stellar Dreams.

A father that gives birth, a horse that says “no,” and an ER doctor who wants to keep you out of the hospital—this episode brings science and everyday choices into sharp focus. We start with a mind-bending dive into seahorses, where males carry the pregnancy and build a placenta-like environment from skin. New research shows familiar pregnancy genes at work inside the brood pouch, but with an unexpected hormonal switch: androgens, not estrogens, drive gestation. It’s evolution repurposing its toolkit—and a powerful reminder that sex roles in nature are more flexible than we think.

From there, we move into animal-assisted therapy and the role of consent in touch. A new study comparing dogs and horses found that forced interactions with horses raised heart rate and lowered HRV, signaling more stress, while choice calmed people down. Dogs showed no significant difference between conditions, suggesting human perception and species-specific behavior shape outcomes. If you run therapy programs, the insight is simple and humane: build animal choice into sessions, especially with horses, and track long-term welfare alongside human benefits.

Then ER physician Dr. Shazma Mithani joins us to turn insight into prevention. We talk helmets for anything on wheels or snow, why e‑scooters drive more severe injuries per use than bikes, and how regular checkups and screening prevent emergencies before they start. We break down wildfire smoke—how particulates inflame lungs and harm the heart and brain—plus when to wear a well-fitted N95 outside and how to upgrade home air with MERV 11–13 filters or HEPA purifiers. Finally, we tackle measles: an airborne virus that lingers for hours, demands 95% vaccination for herd immunity, and is best stopped with two doses of MMR. Unsure where to get trusted answers? Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or public health nurse, and lean on credible sources rather than influencers.

If this helped you think differently about biology, safety, or public health, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—we’ll feature our favorites next week.

Coffee may nudge biology, but only within limits. We dig into new research suggesting that three to four cups a day align with longer telomeres for people with severe mental illness, then challenge the hype with the caveats that matter: observational design, smoking as a confounder, wildly different cup sizes and brew methods, and the reality that more caffeine can erase potential benefits. We translate the science into practical guidance—why moderation beats megadoses, how 400 mg per day became a sensible upper bound, and where sleep and stress fit into the bigger picture of healthy aging.

Then we pivot to a feline mystery that spans millennia. Long before house cats padded through Chinese homes, leopard cats were the stealthy mousers around early settlements, drawn by grain and the rodents it attracts. Using mitochondrial DNA from ancient remains—paired with clues from art—we trace the species shift around the eighth century as domestic cats, descended from the African wildcat, traveled the Silk Road and found their place beside people. Tameness, tolerance, and a knack for living close to humans helped them outcompete their wild cousins in a world reshaped by trade and urban life.

Across both stories runs one thread: human routines create niches that biology rushes to fill. Our cups change our days at a cellular level, and our granaries and roads alter which animals share our spaces. If you love clear science, a bit of myth-busting, and the unexpected link between breakfast and ancient history, you’ll feel right at home here. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves coffee or cats, and leave a quick review—what surprised you most?

When the brain gets knocked, it fights back—at least for a while. We open with new research that uses ALPS MRI to watch the glymphatic “waste rivers” of the brain as they surge after repeated head impacts and then falter when the system is pushed too far. That real-time look at fluid flow explains why early symptoms can be misleading and why rest, recovery windows, and better sideline calls aren’t just policy—they’re neuroprotection. We talk sports protocols, long-term risk, and how biomarkers could warn athletes before decline sets in.

Then we lean into joy with rigor. Our pet science segment dives into a Cambridge study of more than a thousand golden retrievers showing that genes tied to trainability, fear of strangers, energy, and dog-to-dog aggression overlap with human genes for anxiety, depression, and intelligence. It’s not destiny; it’s sensitivity. We unpack how emotional regulation genes shape learning and coping, why some “bad” behavior is actually distress, and how training plans can be kinder and more effective when they support the nervous system, not just reward the behavior.

To cap it off, we welcome John Reider,, the chief bubble dude behind Atomic Bubbles, for a whimsical masterclass in safe, scented bubbles for pets. He breaks down cosmetic-grade ingredients, water-soluble fragrances, and machine-friendly formulas that make durable bubbles dogs and cats actually chase. We explore lavender and pheromone-infused bubbles as floating diffusers for calming anxious pets, plus practical notes on storage, allergy concerns, and why bacon and peanut butter scents work without real allergens.

A vaccine built for a virus might be whispering a powerful message to cancer care. We dig into a new Nature paper suggesting that mRNA COVID shots could enhance the effectiveness of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy—especially in non‑small cell lung cancer and melanoma—by acting as an immune alarm that sharpens anti‑tumor responses. The data is retrospective, not causal, so we break down why the signal is exciting, where confounders can hide, and what the next generation of trials must test: timing, vaccine type, biomarkers, and who stands to benefit most.

From there, we switch gears to the first weeks of a dog’s life. A small but detailed study of Australian breeders maps nine practical socialization steps—novel objects, varied surfaces, calibrated sound exposure, hands‑on handling, human visitors, other animals, off‑site trips, car rides, and rotating environments—that build confident, adaptable companions. We compare three rearing strategies, from uniform protocols to individual puppy plans, and connect these choices to fewer fear issues, better training outcomes, and smoother vet and grooming visits down the line.

Journalist and author Melanie Kaplan joins us to share Hammy’s story—a beagle rescued from a research lab—and the deeper reporting behind her book, Lab Dog: A Beagle and His Human Investigate the Surprising World of Animal Research. We talk about why beagles became the default lab dog, the emotional toll and resilience of retired animals, and the promising rise of non‑animal alternatives like organs‑on‑chips, human cell models, and computational toxicology. With FDA and NIH signaling support for methods that are more humane and more predictive, there’s a real path to better science with less harm.

Ever wonder how a pumpkin could help clean a toxic field—and why your dog might boost your mood as much as a wedding ring? We unpack both, starting with fresh research from Kobe University that reveals how a small amino acid tag on major latex-like proteins pushes pollutants into plant sap. That single routing decision explains why some gourds move stubborn chemicals like PCBs all the way to their fruits, illuminating both the promise of phytoremediation and the risk if contaminated soils meet our dinner tables. We talk practical implications for agriculture too—how breeders and bioengineers could tune protein binding and secretion to create safer crops while using separate plots for soil cleanup.

Then we turn to the science of happiness with a study that estimates cats and dogs can elevate life satisfaction on par with being married or seeing friends often. The researchers used instrumental variables to tease causation, not just correlation, and the findings match what many of us feel: pets reduce loneliness, add structure, and get us moving. We dig into the nuance—pets offer deep comfort and presence, while people bring complex emotional and intellectual support—and why the best lives layer both.

A top predator that “wastes” food and ends up feeding an entire ecosystem? That paradox sits at the heart of our latest exploration into polar bear behavior and the hidden scaffolding of the Arctic food web. We unpack new research estimating that each polar bear leaves roughly 300 kilograms of edible remains annually—amounting to millions of kilograms across the region—and why those leftovers are vital calories for Arctic foxes, ravens, gulls, snowy owls, and even wolves. By focusing on blubber for maximum energy return, polar bears inadvertently act as providers in a landscape where every calorie matters, and we trace how shrinking sea ice threatens not just bears but the scavengers who depend on their kills.

From icy shores to living rooms, we then tackle a beloved belief: can dogs judge human character? A Kyoto University study with 40 pet dogs put that idea to the test using a generous-versus-selfish setup. The result: no reliable preference for the kind human, even after direct interaction. We break down what this means for canine social cognition, why food-based tasks may miss the mark, and how ethics limit what scientists can test. Rather than a simple moral radar, dogs may rely on a complex blend of context, prior reinforcement, and human cues that are hard to capture in a two-choice experiment.

Along the way, we share field notes from polar bear country, practical insights for interpreting your dog’s behavior without overreading the wag, and a clear view of how climate change reshapes energy flows you rarely hear about. If you care about wildlife science, animal behavior, or how small choices ripple through entire systems, this one offers fresh data and useful takeaways.

The sky went dark at midday, the temperature dipped, and a continent held its breath. We chased the total solar eclipse to Texas and came back with more than a memory—fresh science on how birds react when day vanishes and returns a few minutes later. Leveraging a blend of community observations, autonomous recorders, and BirdNET machine learning, researchers tracked behavior from Mexico to Canada and found a clear pattern: movement slowed during totality while vocalizations spiked, followed by a pseudo-dawn burst when the light returned. Some species, like American Robins and Barred Owls, showed dramatic shifts; others didn’t budge, pointing to species-specific sensitivity to light.

That sudden flip from light to dark is more than a spectacle—it’s a powerful biological cue. We connect the dots to artificial light at night, from migration disruptions to window strikes, and explore how city lighting policies and dark-sky practices can protect wildlife without sacrificing safety. When the whole sky changes at once, you see how deeply behavior is tuned to brightness. It’s a rare, elegant experiment you can’t reproduce in a lab, and it gives us practical guidance for urban design and conservation.

Back on the home front, we turn to a concern every family with pets and kids faces: children often misread dog body language. New data show that four- to seven-year-olds frequently mistake angry dog faces for happy ones, with high error rates even at seven. Most bites happen at home, during child-initiated contact, and without supervision. We share simple, actionable steps—teach a few key cues, keep greetings calm, supervise play, and give dogs guaranteed safe spaces—to preserve the empathy and comfort dogs bring while lowering risk.

If you love science, animals, and practical insights that make life better, this one’s for you.

A newborn with higher pTau217 than an adult with Alzheimer’s—what would that mean for how we detect, define, and treat dementia? We dive into a startling new finding that reframes tau phosphorylation as a dynamic, reversible process rather than a one-way street. From the costs and tradeoffs of PET scans and CSF analysis to the promise of new blood tests, we lay out how clinicians navigate biomarkers and why context matters. If babies and even hibernating animals can toggle tau safely, we might be looking at a new horizon for Alzheimer’s research—one that prioritizes regulation over blunt suppression and respects the difference between signals and symptoms.

Then we turn to our dogs and a different kind of brain science: play that looks a lot like behavioral addiction. In a study of high-drive pets, some dogs pursued play so intensely they ignored food and struggled to settle once the toy disappeared. The kicker? It’s not the toy—it’s the play. We unpack how anticipation and reward loops shape behavior, why shepherds and terriers tend to lean in hard, and how to channel that energy with structured games, clear start/stop cues, and decompression routines that protect both joy and well-being.

Our guest, Dr. Nancy Kay—veterinarian and small animal internal medicine specialist—brings practical wisdom to family life with pets. She explains how to choose a dog that truly fits a home with kids, why supervision and respect rules beat wishful thinking, and how to steer clear of puppy mills and dog auctions with two simple safeguards: never buy from pet stores and never purchase sight unseen. We talk about her middle-grade novel, “A Dog Named 647,” her advocacy guide “Speaking for Spot,” and the unforgettable cases that come with a life in medicine—from swallowed treasures to high-stakes rescues. It’s science that matters, compassion that lasts, and stories that stick.

Imagine fixing a fracture with a steady hand and a smart pen. We open the lab door on a handheld “bone printer” that lays down bio‑ink directly at the injury site, promising faster healing, fewer imaging steps, and the chance to customize strength and shape in minutes. If you’ve ever waited days for scans and fabrication, the appeal is obvious: hydroxyapatite to encourage bone growth, PCL as a biocompatible scaffold that melts at low heat, cools fast, and slowly yields to living tissue. Early tests on rabbit femurs outperformed bone cement and showed no infections over 12 weeks, and the potential to embed antibiotics or growth factors hints at on‑the‑spot, personalized implants that could transform orthopedics, trauma care, and remote medicine.

Then we pivot from bones to benevolence with one big question: do pets change how people give? Using a decade of 787,877,198 donation transactions, we map the patterns. Non‑pet owners tend to donate larger totals, yet pet owners give more frequently, keeping support flowing between big gifts. Cat owners spread donations across more causes and contribute more overall than dog owners, while dog people still outpace non‑owners in cadence. A machine‑learning model puts pet ownership as the fourth strongest predictor of giving—behind income, education, and gender—suggesting pets reflect social ties and daily acts of care that nudge generosity. We also unpack identity signals and what they mean for smarter, kinder fundraising that respects budgets and habits.

It’s a journey from bio‑materials to behavioral data, but the throughline is practical empathy: tools that speed healing, and insights that make community support steadier and more inclusive. If you enjoy science that touches daily life—medicine you can hold, and generosity you can measure—this one’s for you.

After a two-week hiatus dealing with shipping challenges and postal strikes, Jason and Chris return with exciting scientific breakthroughs and heartwarming pet insights. Their absence was filled with stuffy reshipping adventures and a memorable Comic-Con appearance with their super-dog companions.

The episode features a remarkable development in Huntington's disease treatment – a devastating neurodegenerative condition affecting 7 in 100,000 people worldwide. A pioneering gene therapy trial using microRNA delivered via viral vectors directly to the brain has shown unprecedented success in slowing disease progression. Patients receiving the highest dose demonstrated 75% less decline in cognitive and motor symptoms compared to untreated individuals. While invasive and still pending regulatory approval, this breakthrough offers genuine hope for patients and families who've endured decades of despair. Beyond Huntington's, this approach could potentially revolutionize treatments for other neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's.

The pet science segment reveals fascinating research about canine cognition, particularly how "gifted" dogs mentally categorize toys by function rather than appearance. Border collies demonstrated an ability to classify toys based solely on how they're used in play – whether for throwing or tugging – without relying on verbal cues. This suggests dogs possess cognitive flexibility comparable to human toddlers, understanding not just words but concepts. The study highlights how our canine companions don't merely memorize but actually comprehend and apply knowledge functionally, raising profound questions about their cognitive abilities.

Fascinating new research reveals how catching a common cold may provide surprising protection against COVID-19, reducing infection risk by 50% and viral load by tenfold. We explore the science behind this finding and why children might experience milder COVID symptoms thanks to their frequent colds.

• Recent study shows having a cold in the previous month led to 50% lower risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2
• Participants with recent colds showed tenfold lower COVID-19 viral loads
• Common colds trigger production of airway defense proteins that stay active and help fight other infections
• Children have higher activation of these defense proteins and catch colds more frequently
• "Cross protection" may explain why kids often had milder or asymptomatic COVID cases
• This was an observational study before vaccines were available

We also dive into canine obesity research, examining why 50% of US dogs are overweight and what pet parents can do about it:

• Overweight dogs may live 2.5 years less than dogs at ideal weight
• Retrievers and spaniels show 10% higher food motivation than average
• Labrador retrievers have a genetic mutation (POMC gene) that prevents feeling full
• Multi-dog households and urban environments increase food motivation
• Body condition scoring (BCS) is an underutilized clinical tool for monitoring weight
• Structured feeding times, measured portions, exercise, and food puzzles help manage weight

We explore fascinating examples of mutualism in nature and therapeutic relationships between humans and animals through two distinct scientific studies.

• Squamillaria plants in Fiji function as apartment buildings for up to five different ant species
• These plants have internal chambers with separate entrances preventing deadly conflicts between rival ant colonies
• When chamber walls are broken, ants engage in fatal battles lasting only 30 minutes
• The plant benefits from ant waste providing nutrients while ants receive safe housing
• Some ant species even plant seeds in nearby bark, acting as farmers for their future homes
• Facility dogs in physical therapy settings help patients persist 2.6 minutes longer in rehabilitation tasks
• Participants without dogs at home showed even greater improvement with a facility dog present
• Dogs may improve therapy outcomes through positive distraction and emotional support
• First tasks with dogs present showed lower pain and heart rate measurements
• Our own pets Bunsen, Beaker, and Bernoulli would need training before becoming therapy animals

On this episode we look at the tsunamis that weren't from the Russian megaquake, and which dog breeds are super super hungry all the time.

• Earthquake occurred in the Kural Kamchatka subduction zone where the Pacific plate slides under the Okhotsk plate at 75mm per year
• Logarithmic earthquake scales mean each magnitude increase represents 10x more energy
• Despite the earthquake's strength, the rupture didn't reach the seafloor, limiting tsunami development
• Hawaiian and California coasts saw modest waves of 1-1.5 meters, far less than feared
• Historical tsunamis like the 2004 Indian Ocean disaster (227,000+ deaths) demonstrate the potential danger
• Texas A&M study of 15,000 dog owners reveals which breeds have highest "food motivation scores"
• Sporting breeds like Labs and Golden Retrievers are 10% more likely to overeat than mixed breeds
• Hound breeds (beagles, dachshunds) follow at 5.3% higher likelihood
• City dogs and those in multi-dog households more prone to weight issues
• Maintaining healthy dog weight reduces risks of diabetes, arthritis, and skin disease

In this episode we explore scientific findings about optimal daily step counts, genetic predispositions for having children of the same sex, and how dogs perceive and interact with television.

• Research shows 7,000 steps per day is the health "sweet spot," not the commonly cited 10,000
• At 7,000 steps, studies found 25% reduced cardiovascular disease risk, 37% lower cancer risk, and 38% decreased dementia-related deaths
• Even modest increases from baseline (2,000 steps) show significant health benefits
• Genetic study reveals some families may be predisposed to having children of primarily one sex
• Older mothers showed strongest patterns of same-sex children, possibly due to biological mechanisms
• Two gene variants identified that correlate with having all male or all female children
• Modern LED TVs allow dogs to see continuous motion unlike older TVs
• Dogs primarily see blue and yellow colors and 45% react to other dogs on screen
• A dog's personality, not breed or age, determines their interest in television
• Anxious dogs may find TV overstimulating rather than enriching

We dive into the environmental impact of AI technologies and explore the science behind how pet touch affects human well-being.

• Generative AI consumes significant energy with a ChatGPT query using approximately 10 times more energy than a Google search
• By 2028, data centers could account for 12% of US energy use, up from 4.4% currently
• Companies rarely disclose the true energy costs of training and running AI models
• Smaller AI models can achieve similar results with dramatically lower carbon footprints
• Practical solutions include choosing efficient models, using AI during off-peak hours, and minimizing unnecessary words in prompts

• Recent study of 443 pet owners shows both giving and receiving touch contributes to owner well-being
• Stroking pets shows stronger positive effects on well-being than hugging or holding
• Pet leaning behavior (like when dogs press against their owners) is particularly beneficial for emotional health
• The act of giving touch to pets may be more beneficial than receiving touch from them
• The physical mechanisms of touch involve specialized nerve fibers that respond differently in hairy versus non-hairy skin

We explore groundbreaking science developments from space discovery to environmental innovation and canine intuition. The James Webb Space Telescope has directly imaged an exoplanet for the first time, marking a pivotal moment in our quest to understand distant worlds.

• JWST captures first direct image of an exoplanet orbiting star TWA7, 111 light-years away
• The Saturn-sized planet orbits 52 astronomical units from its star within a gap in the star's dusty debris disk
• Scientists used a coronagraph to block the star's light, enabling them to see the much dimmer planet
• Researchers genetically engineered E. coli bacteria to convert plastic waste into acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol
• The bacteria achieved 92% conversion efficiency in 48 hours, offering potential solutions for plastic pollution and sustainable pharmaceutical production
• Though promising, this process is not yet scalable for industrial applications
• Study reveals 65% of participants noticed behavior changes in their dogs during pregnancy
• 27% reported these changes occurred before they knew they were pregnant
• Dogs showed increased attention-seeking, guarding behavior, and anxiety around other dogs
• Canines can detect changes in human biochemistry, emotions, and scent during pregnancy

If your dog detected your pregnancy before you knew, we'd love to hear your story! Check out our Patreon at the link in show notes to support the podcast and join our Paw Pack community.

Innovations in science are making daily life better through passive cooling paint and insights into pet interactions.

In the Science News section we explore technologies that could transform how we maintain comfortable living spaces and manage our emotions at work.

• Cement-based cooling paint from Nyang Technological University uses three cooling strategies: radiative cooling, evaporative cooling, and solar reflection
• The specialized paint maintains effectiveness after two years of testing, reflecting 88-92% of sunlight while conventional paints yellow and lose performance
• Buildings using this paint required 30-40% less electricity for air conditioning, potentially reducing urban heat islands
• Research shows looking at photos of your own dog (not random dogs or cats) significantly reduces anger and aggressive intent

The Guest in Ask an Expert...

• Dr. Lori Palen discusses how data communication bridges the gap between scientific discovery and real-world impact
• Data Soapbox helps scientists translate complex findings into accessible, engaging content that drives positive change
• Science communication needs to be planned from the outset rather than treated as an afterthought

We explore the physics behind making the biggest splash in pool jumping and examine a promising new non-opioid painkiller that could revolutionize pain management without addiction risks.

Our investigation into canine health reveals which dog breeds are most prone to diarrhea—with some surprising findings for particular designer breeds.

• The science of Manu jumping reveals a precise 45-degree entry angle with V-shaped body posture creates the biggest pool splash
• Underwater backward roll and leg extension forms an air pocket that collapses to create maximum splash height
• New experimental drug SBI-810 targets pain pathways without causing addiction or euphoria
• This non-opioid painkiller outperformed newer opioids in animal testing and could reduce reliance on addictive pain medications
• Study of 2.25 million dogs shows breeds with names ending in "poo" have highest diarrhea rates
• Cavapoos (14.95%), Maltese (14.6%), and Miniature Poodles (14.26%) top the list for diarrhea incidence
• Most canine diarrhea cases (92%) involve only one event per year and resolve with a single vet visit
• Common treatments include probiotics, dietary management, and sometimes antibiotics for more severe cases

The cosmic dance of our solar system is more precarious than we realize, with rogue stars potentially disrupting Earth's orbit and sending us hurling into space—though the probability is a reassuring 0.2% over 5 billion years.

Recent research reveals singing to babies significantly improves their overall mood, highlighting the universal evolutionary importance of lullabies as emotional regulation tools across cultures.

Oh and Cockatoos have taught themselves how to drink from fountains.

• Computer simulations show passing stars could disrupt our solar system with catastrophic consequences
• Mercury would likely be the first planet affected, potentially creating a domino effect of planetary collisions
• Earth has a 0.2% chance of being ejected from our solar system in the next 5 billion years
• Parents who sing to babies under four months old observe significantly improved infant moods
• Singing to babies appears to be a universal human behavior with evolutionary advantages
• Sydney's cockatoos demonstrate remarkable intelligence by operating public drinking fountains
• Around 70% of local cockatoos attempt to use fountains with 50% succeeding
• Birds coordinate complex movements and wait in line, suggesting possible social bonding behavior

We dive into the fascinating world of extinct giant sloths, explore how dogs are inspiring better swimming robots, and discuss the alarming resurgence of measles with immunologist Dr. Elisabeth Marnick.

• Ancient sloths evolved wide body size diversity based primarily on their habitat preference
• Tree-dwelling sloths evolved to be smaller while ground-dwelling species became massive
• The largest ground sloths were predated by enormous short-faced bears and likely hunted by humans
• Engineers created an amphibious robot that mimics dogs' swimming motion rather than reptiles or insects
• The dog-inspired robot achieves better transition between land and water with superior stability

And our guest:

• Dr. Elizabeth Marnick explains that measles causes "immune amnesia," erasing the body's memory of other infections
• The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles infection with two doses
• One in four measles cases requires hospitalization, with potentially severe complications
• Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis can appear 7-10 years after measles infection and is 100% fatal
• Science communicators face significant challenges combating misinformation on social media

We explore the science behind HBO's "The Last of Us," investigating whether a fungal apocalypse could happen in real life and if a vaccine for fungal infections is possible. The Royal Tyrrell Museum's new "Breakthroughs" exhibit showcases five groundbreaking fossil discoveries that revolutionized our understanding of prehistoric life. Lastly we look at the cause of the orange color in orange cats!

• Fungal infections like cordyceps jumping to humans is extremely unlikely, though climate change impacts fungal evolution
• Scientists have no approved fungal vaccines available, with only four new antifungal drugs approved in the last decade
• The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta showcases world-class dinosaur specimens including Canada's best-preserved nodosaur
• Five breakthrough fossils include a Mosasaurus with preserved cartilage, feathered Ornithomimus, and exceptionally preserved Borealopelta
• Recent studies reveal orange cats share a single genetic mutation near the RH-GAP36 gene that originated 900 years ago
• Female orange cats are rare because they need the mutation on both X chromosomes, while males only need one copy

This week we look to deunk myths about rising autism rates and explain the genetic and environmental factors at play, while exploring the resurrection of dire wolves through genetic engineering and how puppy cognition predicts adult dog behavior.

• CDC data shows autism diagnoses increased from 1 in 150 children in 2000 to 1 in 31 in 2022
• Approximately 80% of autism cases stem from inherited genetic variations with 200+ genes linked to early brain development
• Better screening, diagnosis, and awareness accounts for much of the increase in autism rates
• Scientists have genetically engineered puppies with dire wolf traits using DNA from ancient remains
• The three pups—Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi—received 20 gene edits targeting coat color, body size, and facial features
• Study of 1,400+ puppies shows early cognitive traits persist into adulthood
• Puppies good at following pointing gestures became more trainable adults, while those with better impulse control grew into calmer dogs
• Understanding puppy cognition allows for customized training approaches that support lifelong well-being

On this week's episode we dive deep into nature's most shocking survival strategy exploring how the Alamendro tree has evolved to harness lightning strikes as a competitive advantage. We also examine the fascinating results of fermenting miso in space and discuss the challenges and rewards of cat fostering programs.

• Lightning-resistant Alamendro trees have 100% survival rate after strikes while 56% of neighboring trees die
• These trees grow wider crowns that attract lightning, increasing strike probability by 68% and eliminating competition
• Space-fermented miso develops a nuttier, more roasted flavor with unique bacteria not found in Earth samples
• New Zealand study reveals cat fostering helps manage 37,000+ cats annually while providing both challenges and benefits to fosterers
• Foster programs create community connections while offering flexible pet companionship without long-term commitment

On this week's show we dive into the hidden connections between shingles vaccines and decreased dementia risk, while exploring how humans often misinterpret their pets' emotions based on environmental context rather than actual animal behavior. Our guest, Dr. Yasmin Mohseni blows us away with the inner workings of the immune system.

Some highlights:

• Shingles vaccine study reveals a 20% reduction in dementia risk, particularly among women
• The protective effect may be linked to how viral infections modify the immune system
• Humans heavily rely on situational context rather than dogs' body language when assessing canine emotions
• A study of 400 college students showed they couldn't distinguish dog emotions without environmental cues
• Dr. Yasmin Mohseni explains why the immune system isn't a simple on/off switch that can be easily "boosted"
• Immunotherapy approaches like CAR T-cell therapy are revolutionizing cancer treatment
• Cancer cells create "fortress-like" defenses that engineered immune cells must overcome
• Understanding your pet's actual body language rather than situational context can improve communication

From groundbreaking research on seal oxygen perception to heart-stopping surgical techniques, we explore medical frontiers that sound like science fiction but save lives daily with cardiothoracic anesthesiologist Dr. Ashley Gabrielsen.

• Gray seals can perceive blood oxygen levels rather than CO2, allowing them to adjust dive durations accordingly
• Therapy dogs in ERs significantly reduce pediatric anxiety – dropping scores almost twice as much as standard care alone

Then an amazing chat with Dr. G!

• During cardiac surgery, the heart can be completely stopped while a bypass machine takes over circulation
• In extreme procedures, patients can be cooled to 20°C and circulation stopped briefly – being "clinically dead" before resuscitation
• The brain lacks pain receptors, enabling awake brain surgeries where patients can play instruments during the procedure
• Modern anesthesia techniques allow joint replacements with minimal medication and same-day mobility

In this episode, we explore the significance of those wild patches on our lawns and why they're crucial for our buzzing friends. We also navigate the emotional landscape of new mothers who find solace, challenge, and joy in their pet companions amid the transformational journey of parenthood.

Ever been face to face with someone you've known for years, only to realize you can't quite place them? Imagine that being your constant reality. Joining us is Stephanie Duesing, a mother who shares the startling discovery of her son Sebastian's covert struggle with blindness and prosopagnosia, a condition that profoundly alters one's perception of the world.

Together, we traverse the intricate pathways of the brain that give rise to visual recognition and the impact that conditions like Cortical Visual Impairment can have on everyday life. Her story is one of resilience, scientific intrigue, and the paramount importance of awareness.

The tale of Sebastian, who navigated the world with topographical agnosia, challenges our understanding of perception and raises poignant questions about how we support those with unseen disabilities. Through this episode's intimate discussions, we gain insights into the power of the human brain and the unexpected pathways it can take, drawing parallels with the legendary neurologist Dr. Oliver Sacks.

Prepare to embark on a narrative journey that offers both enlightenment and empathy, reminding us of the diverse tapestry of human experience.

If you've ever wondered about the behind-the-scenes magic that pairs rescue dogs with loving homes, Skarlet Rockwood from Fur Social joins us to reveal just that.

Our furry family members, Bunsen and Beaker, often steal the show with their shenanigans, but today we're peeling back the curtain on the touching adoption stories fueled by social media know-how. Settle in for an episode where we celebrate the quirks of our pets, explore the impact of animals on local ecosystems, and share the milestones of sanctuary residents like James Earl Jones the dog.

When Bunsen came home from Comic-Con with a limp, our hearts sank, and our community rallied with support and advice. Keeping an energetic dog like Bunsen quiet is an art form we're perfecting, and we'll share the tips we've learned along the way. We'll also reel you into the world of dog sports with updates from Marla's obedience trials, and you'll be amused by the great escape of Chopper, the brown kelpie, during a sunny Sunday adventure. This episode is a patchwork of narratives that cast a spotlight on the rollercoaster of pet ownership.

Wrap up your day with us as we reminisce about our costume charity event, where we channeled "The Mandalorian" for a school fundraiser—cosplay for a cause, you might say.

So, join the conversation, where we celebrate our love for pets, community, and the occasional Canadian delicacy.

But the sparkle doesn't stop with gemstones; we're beyond thrilled to welcome Michelle Waitzman to our show. Her insights on the therapeutic wonder of dogs, and her book "Be as Happy as Your Dog," promise to shed light on how our furry friends can teach us to cherish the joys of life, wagging tails and all.

This week's conversation is a heartfelt blend of the technical and the tender, as we examine the remarkable role of therapy dogs in supporting patients through the rigors of hemodialysis. These four-legged companions offer more than comfort; they're a beacon of hope and adherence in a sea of medical monotony. As we pivot from the clinical to the canine, Michelle Waitzman captivates us with her tales of rescue dogs and the paw-prints they leave on our hearts. Her approach melds the wisdom of wagging tails with the principles of positive psychology, unlocking the secret to a more fulfilled existence.

Finally, we wrap up with a nod to life's simple pleasures, and how moderation can make a treat truly a treat—cue memories from "Parks and Recreation" and the exuberance of "Treat Yo' Self" day. From self-publishing trials to pet antics, we share a slice of our lives, including the gentle giant, Bunsen, and his escapades as a misunderstood 'big baby' dog!

Back from the eclipse!

Ok let's delve into how the simple act of writing and ditching our negative thoughts, inspired by a Japanese study, could be the outlet we've been searching for.

I also weave in a heartening snippet of pet science, revealing the profound influence our furry companions wield over children's lives, and set the stage for a fascinating discussion with conservation biologist

Sam Helle, whose passion for wildlife conservation ignites our conversation with tales from her path into this vital field.

Embark on a journey with us as we navigate the dense terrain of tiger conservation, guided by Sam Helle's insights into the admirable progress of Nepal's community forestry and the ambitious WWF's TX2 initiative. The narrative of how Nepal nearly tripled its tiger population is not just a success story; it's a clarion call to action, reminding us of the potency of localized conservation strategies. In this engaging narrative, we also offer guidance for eco-conscious tourists and introduce a children's book designed to stoke the flames of curiosity in young, aspiring biologists and conservationists.

As we wrap up, prepare to be moved by stories of the animal kingdom, from Gwendolyn, the fiercely protective collie-border collie mix, to the paralyzing power of a tiger's roar. These anecdotes underline the profound connections between humans and animals, from the humorous misconceptions children have to the unique bonds pets form with their families.

Until next week!

Prepare to be tattooed with knowledge as we trace the lines of ancient artistry on the skin of Otzi the Iceman, whose 5,200-year-old tattoos might just share a lineage with the buzzing machines in your local tattoo parlor. Ever caught yourself in that high-pitched cooing when talking to your pets or a baby? It's not just you—it turns out there's a science to our soppy speech, and we're unpacking the adorable why's in this episode.

Mary Reiter, a wizard of Geographic Information Systems, charts her course from a childhood awash with globes and atlases to becoming a maestro of maps and spatial data. While your phone's map app casually leads you to the nearest coffee shop, the GIS technology behind it is revolutionizing our world in ways you've probably never imagined. Mary helps us navigate this terrain, sharing how satellite imagery and data management are more than just waypoints on a map—they are tools that shape our understanding of the world.

Finally, get ready for a tail-wagging conclusion as we share chuckles over pet antics and the unexpected friendships that blossom between our four-legged family members. And if you've ever wondered who first thought to computerize the world of mapping, Mary drops a super fact about the Canadian pioneer of GIS. This episode is not only a journey through time and technology but a tribute to the curiosity that guides us, the laughter that binds us, and the pets that bring joy to our steps along the way.

Have you ever pondered the intersection where cutting-edge technology meets the human mind? Prepare to be captivated as we navigate the fascinating realm of brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink. Alongside our insightful discussion on the ethical considerations of these devices, we highlight Nolan Arbaugh's remarkable ability to play chess using nothing but his thoughts, thanks to Neuralink's implant.

But our journey doesn't stop at the wonders of the human brain. We also turn our attention to our four-legged companions, diving into research that suggests dogs may have a deeper understanding of language than we once believed. We share touching stories about our own pets, Bunsen and Beaker, that echo the findings of scientists and challenge our assumptions about animal cognition. And we don't shy away from the less cuddly topics, like the potential risks of brain-eating amoebas from seemingly innocuous activities such as nose rinsing.

From the chemicals lurking in our homes that could be impacting our neurological health, to the awe-inspiring discovery of celestial fragments from the early days of the Milky Way, this episode is a rollercoaster of emotion and intellect.

Don't miss this episode; it's an experience that will leave your heart, and your mind, wonderfully full.

As Kris and I gear up to witness our very first total solar eclipse, we're bringing you all the stunning science that this rare event has to offer.

Embrace the darkness with us for an extended four and a half minutes of groundbreaking research and chuckle along with eclipse-themed jokes to keep things light. Plus, we're sinking our teeth into a study on dog growls, deciphering what our canine pals are really trying to tell us with their vocal repertoire.

Delving into dreams of prehistoric proportions, Dr. Augusta Gonzo joins us to weave tales from a childhood captivated by "Jurassic Park" to the reality of spearheading genetic research in cystic fibrosis.

We'll unravel the complexities of this genetic disorder and celebrate the leaps in treatment extending lives. And about those dinosaurs—could we really clone them? We're mixing scientific fact with fantasy as we discuss the plausibility and ethics behind bringing back the mighty lizards of yore, and why we're still captivated by the idea.

The early bird might get the worm, but in our household, it's the early pets that bring the mayhem – and we wouldn't have it any other way.

In a blend of humor and affection, we recount the quirky morning antics that pet owners know all too well, like Bunsen's insistence on pre-dawn attention and Ginger's keyboard capers that leave us both exasperated and enamored.

Weekends may be for rest, but our pets didn't get the memo – join us as we ponder the peculiar uptick in pet energy when Saturday dawns. Laugh with us as we reminisce about 4 AM pet parties, and hear about the amusing escapades of Sasha the Bernadoodle, the unwitting hall monitor of her household.

Escaping a deluge at home, we're back on air with tails wagging and a tale of near disaster to share! The floodgates opened, but Pet Chat HQ and our gear were spared—cue collective sigh of relief. Our furry trio, Bunsen, Beaker, and Ginger, each coped in their own way, with Ginger providing comic relief amid the chaos of unboxing our Starlink system. We're broadcasting live across various platforms, and this episode is no exception, filled with pet shenanigans and heartwarming stories, including a guest from Scotland with a rescue that will tug at your heartstrings.

As the mercury drops, we're bundling up and getting creative with canine cold-weather gear. Picture Beaker in suspender booties—yes, they're as adorable as they sound! And as we navigate the freeze, we're also keeping tabs on regional food safety warnings, ensuring our companions' meals are as safe as they are scrumptious. We even have a chuckle over South Park memes, which add a sprinkle of humor to the frosty conversation. And for the cat lovers, we're not just talking about booties and blizzards—we're diving into feline food preferences and the surprising findings of a cat behavior study.

Finally, we're embracing the power of social media to bring our pet-loving community closer. We wrap up with an eye to the future, looking forward to engaging SciChat sessions and a Starlink system that promises to keep our multicasting smooth as a kitten's fur. So, cozy up with your four-legged friend and join us for an episode that's a warm cuddle full of laughs, learning, and lots of pet love.

When our turtle Carl decided that sharing his tank was more drama than a reality TV show, we knew we had to get personal with our pet tales on this week's Pet Chat.

This episode traverses the quirky world of our pets, from Bunsen the dog's elbow bump saga to the turtles' territorial disputes. Prepare to be charmed by anecdotes like Ginger the cat's unexpected vet visit prowess and laugh along with Kris' chilly escapades in the great outdoors – because family life with our furry and shelled companions is nothing short of a sitcom.

Challenge your pet knowledge against Kris in our lively Kahoot quiz, and cozy up for heartwarming stories that showcase the incredible bonds we form with our animal friends. You'll hear about the innovative efforts of a paleontologist and her service dog braving the wilds of fieldwork, and we'll delve into the evolving dynamics of pets adapting to human presence at home – especially during these times when the home office has become the literal cat's pajamas for many of us. Plus, we'll shed light on the curious case of a cat who seems to prefer the company of one dog over another, proving that the politics of pet friendships are just as intricate as our own.

Wrapping up, we don't shy away from the heavier topics. The episode spotlights the nuanced roles of support and service animals, breaking down their differences and the impact they make in workplaces and schools. Listen to the inspiring journey of Claire, a red lab with too much energy for her intended role, and how she still found her perfect place in the world. It's an episode filled with laughter, insights, and a sincere appreciation for the animals that grace our lives, as we navigate the sometimes messy, often hilarious, but always rewarding adventure of pet companionship.

Hello, beloved pet enthusiasts!

If you're ready to crack a smile or shed a happy tear, you've come to the right place. This episode is a treasure trove of tails and tales, featuring our science dogs, Bunsen and Beaker. Picture Beaker as the cutest Beakachu you've ever seen and Bunsen donning his best Ash Betcham impression. Our laughter is contagious as we reminisce about Bunsen's grunting hedgehog toy love affair and our son Adam's leap into biochemistry (berets included). Relive the joy of canine cameos at Emmett Comic Con and the infectious charisma of Chesney, the internet's sweetheart, not once but twice!

Transitioning from costumes to couches, this episode is filled with heartwarming and hilarious yearly reflections. Hear about our printer-fueled sticker spree, Beaker's virtual puppy love, and the TikTok trials that ended in viral victory. But it wasn't all smooth sailing; we also breathe a sigh of relief over Bunsen's health scare that turned out to be nothing but a scare. As we celebrate Beaker's birthday and Adam's graduation, we can't forget about the epic 'Couch Wars' for the prime spot—a war of fluff and stubbornness that's sure to entertain.

December brings delightful chaos with pet adventures and near smelt-head snacking disasters (yes, you read that right). We're joined by the globetrotting Benny, who swaps classroom chalk for leashes and litter boxes, giving us the inside scoop on the Trusted House Sitters app and the vibrant community it nurtures. And as we acknowledge time's swift passage through birthdays and milestones, we also invite you to share what you love most about our content—from drone footage to GoPro antics. So, curl up with your furry friend, and let's celebrate the bond of pets and people together.

Ever found yourself marveling at how even the tiniest creatures might wander off into their own little worlds?

We sure have, and we bring that sense of wonder to our season finale!

Our special guest, the inspiring Skyler Stevens from UNM Gallup campus, joins us to chart the intersection of daydreaming studies in mice and her vibrant journey in the realm of science, from biology to infectious disease research. Imagine, if you will, mice reflecting on checkerboard patterns – it's a delightful thought that might carry a deeper evolutionary purpose, much like the paths that led Skyler from the deserts of the Southwest to the academic thralls of New England and back again.

The conversation takes a practical turn, revealing the behind-the-scenes of nurse education and anatomy management. Skyler's experiences in teaching anatomy, complete with the hilarious trials of dealing with unexpected pig uteruses, are bound to bring a chuckle. And if you're an animal lover, you're in for a treat! We share laughs over pet antics, highlighting how these loyal companions weave themselves into the fabric of our lives. Skyler's tales from the classroom and her service dog Missy May's escapades offer a glimpse into the human side of science and education.

As we close the book on the year, we reminisce about the Christmas cheer spread among students by Dad and the family dogs, Bunsen and Beaker. The joy of the festive season intermingles with heartfelt stories from our own lives, leaving you with a warm, fuzzy feeling as we head into the holidays. We're incredibly thankful for the "pot pack" community's support and hope to leave you smiling as you await our return in February. So, snuggle in with a hot cocoa, and let's send off the year with a blend of science, laughter, and good old holiday spirit!

What if you could accelerate wound healing and protect against sun damage with a synthetic melanin gel? Or what if you discovered that being a left-handed individual doesn't necessarily mean you have an advantage in certain activities? Just when you think you've seen it all, our science podcast never fails to intrigue and amaze. J

We start off with a riveting discussion on a mysterious infection in dogs, and why staying calm when facing new diseases is crucial. We also touch on internet speed tests and their role in our tech-savvy lives. As we tread further, we tackle the hot topics of plastic pollution and the ethical usage of artificial intelligence, particularly in generating eerily human-like faces. You'd be surprised how these two seemingly unrelated subjects intertwine in our everyday lives. In an unexpected twist, we also unearth a recent study debunking the long-standing belief about left-handed individuals and their supposed advantage in spatial skills.

As we switch gears to the topic of skin health, we explore a new synthetic melanin gel and its potential to revolutionize wound healing and sun protection. Not forgetting the hidden dangers lurking in our everyday routines, we discuss the risks associated with UV lights used in nail salons and why regular check-ups with a dermatologist are paramount. Our journey through this episode may be winding, but we assure you, it's one you wouldn't want to miss. So buckle up, and let's embark on this rollercoaster of science, discovery, and personal experiences.

Ever had your dog eat your homework? Well, you're in for a treat as we recount the laugh-out-loud antics of our furry family members, Bunsen and Beaker.

Can you tell the difference between a real human face and one generated by AI? We kick off our enlightening conversation by delving into the curious world of artificial intelligence image generators and our ability to discern real from the AI. A fascinating study we discuss reveals that AI faces are often considered more realistic than actual human faces, and we explore the implications of this finding.

Our conversation takes an emotional turn as we welcome Dr. Faith Banks, a seasoned hospice vet, who takes us on an intimate journey into the world of veterinary practice. From the rigorous adventure of vet school to the complexities of geriatric animal care, Dr. Banks provides insights that both intrigue and inform. We venture into the often hushed topic of pet euthanasia and its emotional impact on pet owners, as well as the veterinary professionals trusted with making these difficult decisions.

We wrap up our exploration with a glimpse into the mental health landscape within the veterinary profession, where stress levels are high, and suicide rates are alarmingly disproportionate. Dr. Banks shares her wealth of knowledge about water-based cremation, memorial items, and much more, offering a fresh perspective on pet loss. We also take time to marvel at the captivating world of cats, their genetics, and the rarity of female orange cats. So, join us for an episode that goes beyond the science and into the heart of our relationships with our beloved furry friends.

Did you know that water is essential not only for our hydration but also for generating electricity? Our insightful conversation with Dr. Lauren Logan, an expert in the intriguing world of the energy-water nexus, brings this rarely discussed topic to light. We journeyed through the complex workings of thermoelectric plants, where water cools the electricity generation process, and navigated the energy-intensive world of water and wastewater treatment plants.

Water scarcity is a growing concern, and Dr. Logan reminds us of the urgency of valuing this precious resource beyond just our drinking needs. It is a stark reminder that we live in a world where clean water is finite and not always readily available. We also venture into the implications of using large volumes of water for irrigation in arid regions and the inherent dangers of over-pumping aquifers. Groundwater is depleting faster than it can replenish, a situation that calls for heightened awareness and judicious use.

We also took a closer look at Ohio's water and energy policies, including the controversial aspects of fracking in natural gas extraction. Our discussion raised eyebrows over Intel's staggering use of a million gallons of water a day, leading us to question the standards of water treatment and the origins of our water resources.

This episode is an important listen for anyone curious about the intricate relationship between water and energy, and the urgent need to address water scarcity.

Come join us on this enlightening journey.

On this week's live show we chat about how Kris had a fun and awkward meeting with Dave Foley of The Kids in The Hall at Comic Con, how Beaker loves swimming, and the community had some really powerful and heart-warming stories.

It's a great replay!

This week on The Science Pawdcast we look at a very cool science story about a method to extract DNA from ancient artifacts! In Pet Science Jason reports back about going down the rabbit hole of research that looked at the human personality traits in those who suggest they would prefer "aggressive dogs."

Our guest in Ask an Expert is Dr. Jonathan Kolby and he chats with us about the wildlife trade and, frogs and different disease putting some of them at risk.

Adam rounds out the show with the Family Section!

This week's show has a sleep deprived Jason breaking down a wild development from the JWST about Rocky Planets. In Pet Science you'll hate the study we talk about. It finds that pets really didn't help with stress and loneliness. BOO. Whatever science. Our guest in Ask an Expert is Dr. Paul Tesar who simply BLEW us away with his research into specialized brains cells called Glial Cells. It's so cool!

Hi everyone!
Thank you to everyone who reached out about Bunsen's injury! He's fine and is expected to heal without surgery...yay!
On the Cast today we have a science story that is all over social media and the news about Beethoven's hair! If you missed it, we break down the wacky but cool science! In Pet Science a very interested but sad article found a connection between bad dog parents and dogs that bite.
Our guest in "Ask an Expert" this week is parasitic wasp expert Ryan Ridenbaugh! The conversation is a bit of nightmare fuel but is SO interesting!!

We have such a fun show for you this week!
In Science News we are chatting about a study that found a chemical in eyedrops, when given daily, really helped out with vision in kids. In Pet Science we take a look at a study that a bunch of computer security experts compiled which found a ton of those dog-apps have massive security issues! Oh no!
In Ask and Expert we have the inspiring Dr. Jasmine Berry to chat with us about Artificial Intelligence and her work into programming a human like brain into robots!
Adam's section rounds a really fun family section!

Woot!
What a fun episode!
In Science News we look at a biomaterial that gives damaged heart tissue a hug and speeds repairs! In Pet Science we look at a study that found we are doing a big disservice to folks with animal interaction programs by not including cats!
Our guest in Ask an Expert is PHD student Brooke Fitzwater, who has an exploding TikTok account using a very unique method of getting science across. She also wows us with the information about a truly weird fish that's part of her study! Adam's sick, but sucked it u[ for the family section.

Hi all! Sorry for the delay of the show, this week was so busy for the family, and illness knocked Adam out for a bit, but we are here now!

This week on the Pawdcast we chat about a wild protein that was discovered and helps move toxins out of our bodies in science news. In Pet Science we have a study from a former guest that took a bunch of pet dogs and found they could be trained to sniff out wasting disease in deer.

In Ask an Expert we have the hilarious and bubbly Dr. Haley Barlow who is a developmental biologist and blows our minds with the fact that we are basically tubes. She's so fun and knowledgeable!

Adam runs the family section and that's the show!

We are BACK!

WOW 5 SEASONS!

Thanks for helping on this journey, we hope this show is worth the wait while the Zackowski's took some much needed time off in January for mental health.

In Science news we break down a study that found the night sky is losing the darkness faster than we thought...why is that a bad thing, and what can we do about it?

In Pet Science we talk about how a study found there were FOUR types of pet parents...which one are you!?

Our guest in Ask an Expert is the compassionate Dr. Douglas Mader, a world renowned vet and author. We chat about the human animal bond...and how he loves working on ALIGATORS!

Adam runs the family section as we highlight the silly antics of our pets!

On The Science Pawdcast this week, we break down the FUSION STORY!
It's exciting and ground breaking...but I do feel we are a ways off of it being scaled up to something useful.
In Pet Science News we look at at study that found the stress level of humans mimicked the stress levels in dogs, but not the other way around..so humans can cause dog stress! Wow!
In Ask an Expert, we have lecturer and genetics wizz/radio host Dr. Torah Kachur to chat about running a national science segment AND some fun pet stories tucked in there too!
Adam is getting his wisdom teeth out/got them out this week so he is taking the week off from the family section.

Thanks for letting us take the week off last week! While we love doing the podcast, both Kris and I have busy day jobs and in the stretch to Christmas, things come up!
We hope you love the show today!
We breakdown a report on PFAS and why it's worse than we thought. We also take a skeptical viewpoint of a study that concluded cats can be psychopaths. Our guest in "Ask an Expert" is Dr. Kerri Rodriguez an animal/human interaction scientist, and her research into the human animal bond is really touching and information!

This is a recording of our live show SCICHAT which runs at 9PM EASTERN every Tuesday on Twitter Spaces, Clubhouse, Wisdom and The Paw Pack.

We had SUCH an amazing discussion with a scientist of a different type!

PHD candidate Neil Kaplan-Kelly gave us an amazing history lesson about the violence but then peace which has occurred in Ireland. As a Canadian, we knew there was some unrest and stuff that happened in Ireland, but it was sobering to hear an expert speak on it. Neil was a FANTASTIC guest and you will be blown away by his storytelling.

Our family (well me) took a mental health break last week and we didn't release a podcast episode. I had parent teaching interviews at my school and I just literally ran out of time.
We are back with a super fun story about the Nobel Prizes! Well one of them! It's all about ancient human DNA! Our Pet Story...well it's not really about Pets but it's about The Fishing Cat! What? Listen on! Finally our guest is Dr. Wendy Bohan, a geologist, and she was just the BEST guest! She rocks! HA!

This week on the show in science news we have a very cool look at a A.I. piece of software that may have cracked the code on how proteins twist and fold together...though some scientists aren't convinced. In Pet Science we take a light hearted, but amazing look at how dogs drink water! It's so cool! Our expert guest is DevOps Specialist Deanna Stanley, and she does such an amazing job of explaining the complexities of this software teamwork system that all of us get the benefit of each day when we use computers.
Adam is back from having COVID and he's ready to go with a fun family section!
We are also so excited to launch The Paw Pack Plus- it is replacing Patreon and we couldn't be happier with how amazing the new platform is- look for the public link sooon!

This week on The Science Pawdcast we look at a very interesting study that tries to explain where Saturn's majestic rings came from. In Pet Science we delve into a study that happened by accident! A pet cat was chewing catnip and that chewed catnip did better at repelling mosquitoes! Our guest in ask an expert is Dr. Konstantinos Konstantinou - a brilliant and down to earth physicist who tells us about some very advanced physics, in an easy to understand way. We were so lucky to have him on the show!
Adam got a bug - so far it isn't COVID- but boy it knocked him out. There is no family section this week because of that.
Take care!

This week on the podcast we have a very cool study that looked at how AI is reading the brainwaves of humans and determining what the humans JUST head.  It's wild!  In Pet Science, fans asked us to do a story about the domestic foxes of Siberia!  Our guest in Ask an Expert is the hilarious Lauren Pharr, who had us on the edge of our seat with her knowledge about the Red Cockaded Woodpecker!

This week on The Science Pawdcast we have a super creepy story about NECROBIOLOGY and it uses spiders. Be warned, it's very very unsettling (and pretty interesting too)
In Pet Science we look at the parasite that could infect pregnant folks and the science that working on treatments for it. Our guest is Dr. Deanna Hooper who opened up new areas of the cosmos we have never discussed before on The Pawdcast. You'll be blown away!
As always we finish with a slightly unhinged family section.

Hey everyone! This week on The Science Pawdcast we look at a science news article that ties into the deadly heat wave in Europe..but in this case using the heat to do something good for cities. In Pet Science we have an amazing study to breakdown about a new finding in how dogs may "see" the world. Our guest in ask an expert is K.T. Lee, an engineer and author. We have an engaging discussion about how she takes her experiences in STEM and weaves them in to her novels in a thrilling way. In the family section, the mailbag is back..but all the questions are for Adam.

On this live show we were so very lucky to have livestock scientist, Doctor Holland all the way from Australia! Many things in the livestock industry have misinformation swirling around them and the Doc gives us such an amazing discussion around some of the controversy and how livestock scientists are working to bring food production in line with things like climate change and waste.

It's a great discussion!

This week on the show I break down the photos released by JWST. The first photo made me tear up, they are all just so incredible. Jaw dropping. Mind bending...but why? In Pet Science I look at advice from a journal about coping with Pet Loss. It's not a happy discussion, but for all of us with pets, it something that comes eventually. Our guest is Musher and Adventurer Robert Forto! We get into his amazing life as a musher and just a sampling of the wild adventures he's been part of!
Adam's back and so is the family section!

On this live show we were so lucky to have Lillian from the Warrnambol Penguin Project with us. Tiny penguins lived their life in peace on a gorgeous island on the southern coast of Australia. Foxes found their way onto the island and in a few short years they had killed nearly ALL the penguins.
A farmer and biologist teamed up and trained Mareama dogs to guard and protect the penguins instead of chickens. It worked. The penguins were saved and an organization started to spread the word about these giant dogs and the tiny penguins they protect.
It's so wholesome.

This week on The Science Pawdcast we break down the latest study on bone loss in space. Conclusion? It's not great! Good thing we aren't going to space anytime soon. In Pet Science we get the answers to why your cat or dog might be dragging their butt along the floor. It's gross but interesting.
Our expert in "Ask an Expert" is Dr. Laci Brock who will blow you away with her research on brown dwarf planets. We couldn't stop asking her questions! Don't miss it!
Adam is away this week, so the family section is on hiatus.

Hi everyone! We are hoping you and your family are happy and healthy!
This week on the Science Pawdcast we look at a very interesting study that found a molecule appears to have a role in sleep. It's tricky and complicated but we hope at the end everyone learns something! In Pet Science we are doing our homework on the huge study that was just released on dog breeds and behaviours. We are chatting later in June with one of the authors and the study is so interesting!
Our expert guest is the fascinating Tea Francis, someone who had dedicated her life to studying and drawing spiders. We could have listened to her talk spiders for HOURS!
Finally, a wacky family section rounds out the podcast!

This week on The Science Pawdcast in science news we looked at how science is used to find out how much coastal cities are sinking. In Pet Science we look at a very profound study that compared how children compare to teens and adults on the ethics of animals for food. We'd love your opinion on it as Kris is a vegetarian and the boys and I are meat eaters (though not big ones).
Our expert guest is one you CAN'T miss. Her name is Jennifer Hartman who explains what Rogue Detection Dogs are. It's heartwarming and important work that these misfit dogs do.

This week on The Science Pawdcast we chat the genetic structure of vampire bats. Kris and I are fans of a silly vampire show called What We Do In The Shadow's and when a new study comes out about Vampire Bats, you know I'm going to break it down. In serious science news, we look at a paper that found linkages between a relatively non-lethal cancer in dogs and a lethal cancer in humans.
Our expert guest is Particle Accelerator Engineer Dr. Alex Gabard who blows our minds with how particle accelerators work, the theory of relativity, but also a somber discussion about having Long Covid.

First thing - this episode in the "Ask an Expert" section has subject matters which may not be suitable for a young audience. Our guest Lela Perriello is a criminalist and worked as a coroner so there will be discussions about death, injury and murder.

On the Pawdcast this week we take a look at a study about the effects of alcohol on the brain...even after a single drink! In Pet Science we break down a study which looked at dogs that do agility courses and the injuries they may get. As stated above, our Expert is Criminalist Lela Perriello and our chat ranges from her time as a coroner to working on blood DNA and the body farms which provide critical information to solve crimes.

Just a simple statement to start: Our hearts go out to the people and pets of Ukraine.

This week on The Science Pawdcast we have a very interesting story about bacteria that have coopted a type of chainmail armour to protect itself from destruction. Wild! In Pet Science we have another study that looked at the benefits of dogs...but this one looked at brain power of the human! Cool! Our guest in Ask an Expert is Dr. Iain Bancarz, a computational biologist who is crunching the numbers around cancer. It's a very important and amazing discussion about a disease that affects so many of us either directly or through family members with cancer.

Take care everyone. Much love from our family to yours.

Phew! Busy week! While Kris and Adam hold down the fort at home, I've been on the move down to the major metropolis of Calgary doing presentations for their huge teacher's convention! The podcast is a bit late coming out because of this. Our science story is about the evidence a team of palaeontologists found that shows dinosaurs got sick, and probably had the sniffles! As promised I have section of the live podcast I did instead of Pet science this week. It gives you a feel for how wholesome and fun doing the show live was!
Our guest is Archaeologist Amanda Finley who chats with us about her time in the field but also her struggles with long COVID. We hope you give her interview a listen, she really wants to have her story heard, and we were honoured to use our platform to help.

This recorded live chat from our Spaces Unleashed Twitter show has a moving discussion with Dr. Jessica Kania, Pet Vet. It's a real discussion about the absolute wins in vet medicine, but some of the lows which the public doesn't always know about.
It is SUCH a powerful discussion and we were so fortunate for her to share her story with us.
Not only that, in the Q and A section, Dr. Kania took questions from the audience and answered some tough questions with empathy and wisdom.
If you love your pet, and you love your vet, please give this one a listen.

Season 4 starts in February!

Spaces Unleashed is a live show from Twitter that we run Tuesday at 7:00 PM Mountain Time on Tuesday. Our patrons get early access to the recordings, but we have now decided to share the fun and exciting conversations as bonus content for our podcast subscribers.
Who is Dr. Samantha Wilson?
From her website: https://swils6.github.io/Samantha-L-Wilson/

I am a postdoctoral research fellow under Dr. Michael Hoffman at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre within the University Health Network (UHN). I previously completed my PhD in Medical Genetics at the University of British Columbia under Dr. Wendy Robinson.

I am interested in omics data to understand the etiology of pregnancy and fetal pathologies and use that data to develop predictive models. Currently, I am working with bioinformatics and machine learning approaches to analyze DNA methylation data to give insights into pathogenesis and develop predictive signatures of preterm birth. I am using these data to build predictive signatures that will be usable in the clinical setting.

I am interested in integrating omics data in many types of pregnancy complications to increase our understanding of placental development through gestation, understand how pregnancy complications arise, how each of these complications relate to each other and the heterogeneity present within each clinical class of complication.

While the podcast is on hiatus until February, we will be releasing a few of our SPACES recordings. This Space was a panel of amazing and inspirational speakers who educated the audience about what their service animals do and how the public can improve their interactions with the animal.
Spaces are LIVE audio chats on twitter that anyone with a link (or twitter account can join).
Spaces Unleashed runs Tuesday at 7 PM Mountain Time and usually only our patrons get the recordings as a perk.
This Space has been edited to remove the question and answer section. The audio quality isn't as good as the podcast as we are only on our phones, but the conversations are amazing!
Please come and check out Spaces Unleashed on Twitter- look for a link in our newsletter or social media!

This week on The Pawdcast we talk about a study that links the pollution in a city with the smoke from wild fires into a much bigger issue than the wild fire smoke alone. Our Pet Science story is a reminder to plan ahead with your pet in mind in the case of natural disasters. A majority of those surveyed with pets didn't include them in their natural disaster plan. We are also thrilled to have Blair Braverman (one of our most requested guests) on the show today. She's an amazing storyteller and an inspiring individual. Her mushing stories are not to be missed!!

This week on The Science Pawdcast, we chat about a new study that unlocked the physics of Northern Lights! In Pet Science, we chat about a study that dug into what makes dogs aggressive. Our expert guests are Dr. David Rand and Gordon Pennycook, who had their study about how misinformation spreads recently published in Nature. It's an amazing discussion about what can cause everyday people to share information that is false online. As this week was CRAZY we ran out of time for Woo or Wow, but there is a fun and silly family section at the end!

Hi folks! Thanks for checking out the podcast this week!
In Science News we chat about the two missions selected by NASA for Venus! Both have promising goals and exciting plans! In Pet Science we take a look at a study which tested if dogs have a sense of self...in a really unique way. Our expert guest is PhD candidate Jade Simon, Paleontologist & bird nerd. She has amazing science facts about oviraptors (a cool dinosaur) as well as passionately speaking on the need to include those with disabilities in science (and stories about Basil, her service dog!)

Hi everyone!

First off, Bunsen is doing much better after his porcupine encounter. I can't say it was fun, he was in rough shape, but as of today he is totally back to his normal self.
In light of those events we are doing a FAQs about porcupines! We got so many questions about them, I think we could also learn some interesting information! Instead of Pet Science this week we are going to take a look at an adorable study on Otters in South America.
Our expert guest this week is Dr. Tanya Harrison. It was amazing to chat with her about her work with NASA on the Spirit/Opportunity and Curiosity rovers. She graciously gave us time and your mind will be blown by her information! Woo or Wow is reversed this week...you'll have to listen to figure out what that means, and we get into the whole porcupine situation in the family section.

This week in science news we chat about the break through that China made in landing a rover on Mars (and we talk a little bit about the Chinese Rocket). A big win and a big...well fail! In Pet Science we take a look at a study that asks, if humans can visualize something we smell, that is make a mental picture of it, can dogs do the same given their crazy superior smelling powers? Find out! Our expert guest is Joe Vaughn a timber procurement specialist in Georgia who speaks to us about the amazing trees Georgia has (we had NO IDEA) and also some very important ideas about getting more diversity in science!
There is a really fun and special Woo or Wow this week!

Holy wow. What a turbulent week. Events in both Alberta and the United States crept into our life and it was hard to avoid talking about at least the current events for us in our home province.

Hi Everyone!!!!

The Zackowskis (and Bunsen) are all healthy and socially distancing from the world. It isn't lost on us that being on a farm keeps us at an extra distance from everyone and we are very. Our hearts go out to those affected by this pandemic.

On this week's podcast our expert guest is Jeffrey Ward, an amateur birder from New York city who talks to us about birding, and where to find the birds in New York city (pre-COVID19). In science news we take a look at an amazingly crazy study of using cancer cell biology to help attach a limb from one mouse to another mouse! In Dog Science we have a fun article about dog pee! Ha! We have family time...er quarantine family time back too!

For Science, Empathy and Cuteness! (and wash your hands!)

First off I hope everyone who listens is well and healthy. Things have completely changed for the Zackowskis and Bunsen up in Alberta Canada which you get glimpses of in the podcast.
We are all healthy and safe.
Our guest is Dr. Efra Rivera-Serrano, who studies viruses. Since our interview occurred in late January, we don't specifically talk about COVID19, but I hope you find the interview insightful into this microscopic non-living bundles of molecules. In Science News we talk about limiting the spread of COVID19 and in Dog Science we have a fun study which gives the super stats....of the annoying things dogs do!

In the last episode of season 1 of The Science Pawdcast we have some interesting science about Inuit Sled dogs. We have three more amazing dog accounts of Twitter. Tine as in Christine, a fun twitter/tik tok account which posts hilarious dog and singing lizard videos, the very brave, Molly the Fire Safety Dog and Beth, the operator of The Golden Retriever Channel!

Thank you to all who have listened to the "cast" in our first season. It's hard to believe that only 5 months ago the padwast was just an idea. That idea has grown into a small but successful show! Thanks everyone! We will see you in February for Season 2!
