How Do Toilets Work? [ENCORE]
00:21:14 | November 22nd, 2023
When you have to go, where does it go? That’s what our listener Ellie wants to know. Prepare for potty humor and science as we hear from civil engineer and toilet expert Francis de los Reyes! Who invented the toilet? And what’s “The Great Stink?” We’ll be plunging into the past, present, and future of flushing to discover how toilets don’t just save us from stinky smells – they save lives.
What If There Were No Animals?
00:20:58 | Season: 9 | Episode: 5 | November 10th, 2023
What would the world be like without animals? Rae Wynn Grant – ecologist, podcaster, and bear cub cuddler – gives us a picture of what would happen if animals disappeared, and explains how we can stop it from happening. We’ll find out how the Endangered Species Act has worked for over 50 years to save endangered species, and how we can make it even better for the next generation. Thanks to Elliana, as well as Hadley and Roman for their question!
The Mind Control Cat Parasite
00:21:49 | Season: 9 | Episode: 4 | October 27th, 2023
It’s a Halloween episode! “There’s a scary secret lurking in the kitty litter…” We’re making a horror movie about a common cat parasite – that can control minds! Toxoplasma gondii makes mice lose their fear of cats, in a plot to take over the world! Biologist Sebastian Lourido helps us tell the true tale of toxoplasma’s quest for cat domination, and what scientists are doing to stop the parasite in its banana-shaped tracks.
How Do We Read?
00:27:11 | Season: 9 | Episode: 3 | October 13th, 2023
How does reading work in the brain? It’s a question that has fascinated scientists for years. Could braille – the system of raised dots that blind and low vision people use to read – be the key to understanding how it works? We talk to writer Andrew Leland (“The Country of the Blind”) and neuroscientist Simon Fischer-Baum to learn about the invention of braille, and how it could be the key to learning how reading works – for everyone. And we might just solve a bedtime reading mystery along the way.
