Are insects being wiped out? Does the risk of mosquito-borne illness increase during floods? Why do we sleep so deeply when sick? And how does our gut bacteria affect our mental health?
Why are giant whales so big? Gastric bypass changes gut flora, dugongs making a slow comeback, and underwater drone improvements.
Narwhals have excellent echolocation, gut bacteria could be the next source of antibiotics, and subsurface ocean on Pluto!
Always informative, often entertaining. Great selection of regulars with a variety of interests and expertise. Also great guests with and Australian focus.
Nice to hear science news from an Aussie perspective and with a good dose of humour. Great work!
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.
