Science, Solutions, And Sprinkles

No one asked me this question, but I had to research it, so I thought it would make a good short podcast. PPWR stands for Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation and we just passed one of the compliance dates (August 12, 2026). This podcast talks high level about PPWR and how it is a data problem not a regulatory compliance problem.

QotW = Question of the Week

This week we did a short podcast explaining the difference between wasp and hornets. This question was asked by my 10 year old daughter. Comment about wasps/hornets or pose a question for us to answer in the future.

8. Learning never ends

Here we go again!

This podcast is for anyone who doesn't have the bandwidth to sit down and read the MAHA Strategy report but has time to listen. I took the time to record as I read it aloud in hopes more people would pay attention to what is going on with MAHA. No opinions here. Just reading what was released. Let's further science. Your input matters.
