This week we’re finding out how the moon is powering cars in the Shetlands, asking if cats value kindness, investigating whether a sperm-filled solar-powered lunar ark is viable, wondering whether sleepiness is to blame for a walrus on the Welsh coast, and learning some social skills from a very sneaky beetle.

If you find some fun science that you think deserves its place on the show, we'd love to hear from you! Get in touch with us at [email protected] and follow us on @LockdownScience on Twitter and @LockdownSciencePodcast on Instagram.
