Today, we have Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Maryanne Tranter back on with us to talk about ANXIETY and STRESS: what it is, what are the signs, what happens inside our bodies when we are stressed, and what are some ways kids can help themselves deal with it.
Did you know that scientists need our help tracking Bumblebees? In this episode, we talk to Rich Hatfield from the Xerces Society about why tracking Bumblebees is important, why scientists need help doing it, and what WE can do to help them. And yes, there’s an app for that!
This week, we learn how to make our own no-sew face mask. No more excuses for unfashionable face wear!Chuck Darwin gives us the noun and verb version of the word of the week, and Captain Jack answers a listener question about whether pets should wear masks in public, too. Tito tells us about a cool critter who looks like it wears a mask, and calls out Captain Jack for wearing a mask at a photo shoot, of which there may or may not be visual evidence. I hope this isn't the start of a He said-She said situation…
This week, I talk to Maryanne Tranter, a pediatric Nurse Practitioner, about what a virus actually is. We are hearing all about the Coronavirus right now, but regular colds and cases of flu are caused by viruses, too!
With Mother's Day coming up on Sunday, May 10th, it's the perfect time to build a sprout-growing terrarium for your Mom! You can use a kit like I did, or you can use a mason jar and get the ingredients separately. Add your own decor, some glow in the dark stickers, and you have a useful and reusable gift!
Have you ever thought you'd like to do more for birds than just fill up the birdfeeder? Today, we are making a Bird Home Improvement Center. It's a little like a store where birds can come to get some building materials to assist with building their nests. I call it the Bird Home Depot. Or, maybe I should call it the Bird Nest Depot. Build one for your back yard and hang it where you can watch your customers come in and help themselves to home improvement essentials!
Where do scientists think Covid-19 came from? We get an expert's opinion when Dr. Ryan Colburn from the Grand Rapids John Ball Zoo joins us on show. He explains where they think it came from, how they think it became a virus that affects humans, and hey, what about those big cats at the Bronx Zoo?!
