Once a month we will be doing a special podcast episode called Science Bites!
It's a short program where Kris and I have some fun banter back and forth while we cover 5-6 of the most wholesome and fun science studies of that month.

We hope you enjoy Science Bites!

Show Notes:

Have you ever wondered how the universe communicates its secrets? Prepare to be tantalized by cosmic riddles as we decode the mysteries of black holes and gravitational waves. This week, we're setting our sights high - beyond the clouds, stars, and galaxies - and inviting you to join us in exploring these celestial enigmas. We're also decoding the secret anti-counterfeiting techniques employed by none other than Ben Franklin during colonial times.

As we return to Earth, we plunge into the glowing world of South American frogs that use fluorescence for communication. We'll shed light on how these fascinating creatures fend off predators and attract mates. We'll also fly high with our feathered friends, discovering how they've repurposed anti-bird spikes into unlikely homes. And we didn't forget about the green side of things - we're decoding plant distress signals, talking about a unique baby giraffe, and delving into a promising gene therapy trial for a specific type of muscular dystrophy.

Finally, we'll get our feet wet and flow with the science of beavers, as a bunch have moved into our creek area building up a storm!

Buckle up for this journey of discovery - we're ready to serve up a feast of information, spiced with humor and insightful tidbits, to satisfy your science curiosity.

You'll laugh, you'll gasp, you'll learn - so why wait?

Let's bite into science together!
