What do wolves, waste-water treatment plants, and the Gulf Stream have in common? This episode, that’s what! It’s that wonderful time when we comb through all your wonderful questions and call up some scientists to help us answer them. Some of the more unlikely things that get brought up include dinosaur pee, abandoned shopping carts, and wolves preying on cheese curds.
Here’s what’s on the docket:
- Why is dog saliva slimier than human saliva?
- Why do wolves get relocated in the middle of winter?
- What if the Gulf Stream “shut down?”
- How do wastewater treatment plants work?
Featuring Eric Odell, Alice Ren, and Sri Vedachalam.
