Listen to this fascinating chat with Dr. Gerard van Belle, Chief Scientist for the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer at Lowell Observatory and he is going to tell us about the cool technology they use to determine the size and shape of stars. You may never look at the stars the same again!
While we all love to do a bit of cloud watching, have you ever thought about the science behind clouds? There is so much more to clouds than just fun animal shapes and rain. Take a listen to the fascinating chat with Jessica Taylor, physical scientist, at NASA’s Langley Research Center as she tells us all about how clouds really do help us to learn about the science of our planet!
Have you ever wondered how military pilots land helicopters on a planes that are floating on the ocean? Listen to retired Coast Guard helicopter pilot, Elizabeth Booker explain just how difficult it can be. Don’t miss this rocking and rolling episode!
Have you ever wondered how you can make a difference? It doesn’t take a lot of training or experience, it just takes an idea and a determination to succeed. Take a listen to Dr. Marsha Tufft, engineer, as she talks about how she designed an object to help save sea turtles! (and she’s not even a biologist!). You may just learn how you can help, too.

You’ll hear from LCDR Becky Shaw (Why Would You Fly into a Hurricane), Norman Black (Why Do Science Experiments Travel By Balloon instead of Jet?), and Nils Larson, NASA’s X-59 test pilot (Why Do Planes Make a Sonic Boom?). You’ll have such fun revisiting these classic clips that you’ll want to go back and listen to the original chats again. Enjoy the flights!
Love to learn about the wonders of engineering and technology? Don’t miss this fabulous episode with snippets from AMAZING engineering!! Dr. Arturo Dominguez discusses (How To Hold the Sun in a Donut), Dr. Anna Michel chats abt (How to Design a Sensor to Learn about the Deep Ocean) and Jim Geffre (How Will We Send Astronauts Back to the Moon). Scientists/engineers from Princeton’s Plasma Physics Lab, WHOI and NASA will take you to the edges of new technology!
Take a deep dive into the ocean with this BEST of Aquatic Animals episode. You’ll get snippets of shows featuring Dr. Amy Apprill (Do Whales Have Germs?), Gretchen Burson (How Do You Train a Shark?) and Dr. Katie Lotterhos (Can You Predict Which Animals will Survive Environmental Change?)
