Hi everyone!

First off, Bunsen is doing much better after his porcupine encounter.  I can't say it was fun, he was in rough shape, but as of today he is totally back to his normal self.
In light of those events we are doing a FAQs about porcupines!  We got so many questions about them, I think we could also learn some interesting information!  Instead of Pet Science this week we are going to take a look at an adorable study on Otters in South America.
Our expert guest this week is Dr. Tanya Harrison.  It was amazing to chat with her about her work with NASA on the Spirit/Opportunity and Curiosity rovers.  She graciously gave us time and your mind will be blown by her information!  Woo or Wow is reversed this week...you'll have to listen to figure out what that means, and we get into the whole porcupine situation in the family section.

Thanks for tuning in folks!
This week in science news we chat about the break through that China made in landing a rover on Mars (and we talk a little bit about the Chinese Rocket).  A big win and a big...well fail!  In Pet Science we take a look at a study that asks, if humans can visualize something we smell, that is make a mental picture of it, can dogs do the same given their crazy superior smelling powers?  Find out!  Our expert guest is Joe Vaughn a timber procurement specialist in Georgia who speaks to us about the amazing trees Georgia has (we had NO IDEA) and also some very important ideas about getting more diversity in science!
There is a really fun and special Woo or Wow this week!

Hi all!  Snow Squall!

HA!  This week in Science News we have an amazing study where using determination and science, a group of researchers determined the cause of what was killing birds in the south eastern part of the United States.  In Pet Science...it's all about the bacteria in dog feet and if they are safe!

Our expert guest, Dr. Charlie Rolsky gives a spirited and enthusiastic talk about Killer Whales and a Killer Whale Poop  sniffing dog!  Also how we need to think differently about plastics and what teams of scientists are working on around the world to mitigate plastic pollution!

Sorry for the audio in Woo or Wow this week!  That was my bad!  Two mics and it recorded with the lower quality one. 

A short family section rounds out the podcast!
