Have you missed us? Looking forward to another season of Science on Top? Here’s something to whet your appetite – a story of cute cephalopods, curious scientists and red and blue 3D glasses!
The funny, interesting or just weird bits from 2019 that didn’t make the final show!
Our top stories from 2019. All the stories we thought particularly interesting, from black hole photos to rats driving tiny cars!
Koalas aren’t extinct, impossible black hole exists and an old spacecraft bombarded by dust.
Humans in suspended animation, oxygen on Mars, water on Europa, alien gases, and snakes with legs!
Human ancestors walked upright much earlier than thought, a new health hazard for spaceflight, avoiding veggies because of genetics, and a possible solar energy storing molecule.
Rats driving cars, music and learning, cows and friendships, and very loud birds.
Painting cows to look like zebras, Planet Nine could be a black hole and prehistoric humans used bones like soup cans!
Tiny snails that nearly went extinct are now back, the mysterious massive explosion in our galaxy, and a native rodent learns to hunt cane toads!
Another Tabby’s Star theory, why we still believe the myth of menstrual synchrony, and artificial intelligence studying science papers.

I have enjoyed this podcast b/c it is very funny banter about science stories but there is also a serious edge to the analysis. It's proof that you can be amusing and entertaining as well as giving the science content its due. Highly recommended weekly listening.
