This Week in Science
Coming Up Next…

Let’s start with the science news

Old Rock Life
How did life show up in rocks dated to a billion years older than life supposedly evolved? It didn’t. The rocks cracked and life abides.

Bats of a feather…
vampire together.

Fish pee – the essential resource for our future
As the climate changes, fish move and their pee moves with them, turns out this could be disasterous!

Want to see what we were talking about at this time last year? Check out this episode of TWIS from 2020 when we talked with Dr. Efrain Rivera-Serrano about virus-host interactions. There was a lot of relevance to how COVID-19 interacts with the human body in the conversation. If you don’t recall, check it out!

You might also enjoy this episode from 2011! Scientists were helping to check on that FTL result at CERN, and we discovered Justin is easily embarrassed. Who knew?!? There was a lot more, but you will have to listen to hear what it was. Enjoy the blast from the past!
