An alleged nuclear blast may reignite weapons testing, and who owns the Moon

Listen Later

First up on the podcast, a peek into the roiling seas of U.S. science policy.

  • ScienceInsider Editor Jocelyn Kaiser talks about shifting leadership at the National Science Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as a dip in funding rates by the National Institutes of Health.
  • Staff Writer Robert F. Service covers proposed restrictions on access by international researchers and students to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
  • Contributing Correspondent Warren Cornwall talks about the Department of Energy’s rush to loosen radiation exposure standards.
  • Senior International Correspondent Richard Stone discusses why an accusation of nuclear weapons testing in China could spark a new round of weapons testing in the United States and Russia.

    • Next on the show, this year’s children’s book roundup features everything from a look at space law to a clever wartime spider farmer. Senior Editor Valerie Thompson joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the books and the reviews of them, written by Science staffers (and sometimes their kids).

    This week’s episode was produced with help from Podigy.
