First off I hope everyone who listens is well and healthy.  Things have completely changed for the Zackowskis and Bunsen up in Alberta Canada which you get glimpses of in the podcast.
We are all healthy and safe.
Our guest is Dr. Efra Rivera-Serrano, who studies viruses.  Since our interview occurred in late January, we don't specifically talk about COVID19, but I hope you find the interview insightful into this microscopic non-living bundles of molecules.  In Science News we talk about limiting the spread of COVID19 and in Dog Science we have a fun study which gives the super stats....of the annoying things dogs do!

As always, trivia and family time at the end of the podcast!

Episode 6 takes a quick look at the accomplishments of Katherine Johnson, NASA mathematician and also the life of the brilliant Dr. Cecilia Payne, astrophysicist.  Dog science delves into three mini studies which show how important dogs are for health outcomes.  Our guest is the energetic and hilarious Naia Butler Craig, a rocket propulsion expert, who delights us with the science of rockets and some fun stories about her co-pilot (spoiler alert- it's her doggo, Tiffany).
As aways, fun trivia awaits at the end AND we have some heart warming stories about the dog that came before Bunsen in our family, the late golden, Kahlan.

This Week we have Neuropharmacologist, Dr. Nour Al-Muhtasib as our guest.  She chats with us about her research into the science of addiction and how her, and scientists around the world are tackling this very heavy concept.  Don't worry, we also talk about cats and poetry.  She's amazing!

In Science News you'll learn a bit about how a vaccine is being made to combat the coronavirus, in Dog Science we have a super fun study about how dogs react to distressed humans and as always we have trivia and stories about Bunsen!

In this week's show, our science news item is about a new species of Dinosaur: Thanatotheristes degrootorum- Reaper of Death!  It was found not to far from where we live in Red Deer!  Our dog science article is all about dog vision- it's a very interesting idea thinking about how our doggo's see the world differently than we do!
In the Ask an Expert section, we are so excited to talk with Dr. Jessie Christiansen, a brilliant and fun scientist from NASA who works to determine where exoplanets are!  So amazing!   We have a goofy and silly WOO or WOW and Family section too!
Enjoy!

In the last episode of season 1 of The Science Pawdcast we have some interesting science about Inuit Sled dogs.  We have three more amazing dog accounts of Twitter.  Tine as in Christine, a fun twitter/tik tok account which posts hilarious dog and singing lizard videos, the very brave, Molly the Fire Safety Dog and Beth, the operator of The Golden Retriever Channel! 

Thank you to all who have listened to the "cast" in our first season.  It's hard to believe that only 5 months ago the padwast was just an idea.  That idea has grown into a small but successful show!  Thanks everyone!   We will see you in February for Season 2!
