665 episoderFirst up this week, Staff Writer Paul Voosen talks with host Sarah Crespi about his travel to meet up with a lead researcher in the field, Folarin Kolawole, and the subtle signs of rifting [https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.zrpjmct] on the African continent. Next on the show, Nik Dennler [https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikdennler/], a Ph.D. student in the Biocomputation Group at the University of Hertfordshire and the International Center for Neuromorphic Systems at Western Sydney University, discusses speeding up electronic noses. These fast sniffing devices [https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.Adp1764] could one day be mounted on drones to help track down forest fires before they are large enough to spot with a satellite.

First up this week, Contributing Correspondent Kai Kupferschmidt joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the difficulties of studying misinformation [https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.zt4nc9l]. Although misinformation seems like it’s everywhere, researchers in the field don’t agree on a common definition or shared strategies for combating it. Next, what can Wikipedia tell us about human curiosity? Dani Bassett [https://live-sas-physics.pantheon.sas.upenn.edu/people/standing-faculty/danielle-bassett], a professor in the department of bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, observed three different curiosity styles [https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adn3268] in people browsing the online encyclopedia—hunter, busybody, and dancer. They explain characteristics of each style and how which approach you use could depend on where you live. This week’s episode was produced with help from Podigy [https://podigy.co/].

Using robots to study evolution, the last installment of our series of books on a future to look forward to, and did reintroducing wolves really restore an ecosystem? First up this week, a new study of an iconic ecosystem doesn’t support the “landscape of fear” concept. This is the idea that bringing back apex predators has a huge impact on the behavior of their prey, eventually altering the rest of the ecosystem. Host Sarah Crespi talks with Contributing Correspondent Virginia Morell about the findings. Next, using bioinspired robotics to explore deep time. Michael Ishida [https://www.michaelishida.com/], a postdoctoral researcher in the Bio-Inspired Robotics Lab at the University of Cambridge, talks about studying key moments in evolutionary history, such as the transition from water to land by creating robotic versions of extinct creatures [https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.adn1125]. Finally in the last in our series of books on an optimistic future, books host Angela Saini talks with Ruha Benjamin [https://www.ruhabenjamin.com/], a professor of African American studies at Princeton University and recently named MacArthur Fellow. The two discuss Benjamin’s latest book, Imagination: A Manifesto [https://bookshop.org/p/books/imagination-a-manifesto-ruha-benjamin/20074537], which explores the part that imagination plays in creating new and radical futures.

First up this week, host Sarah Crespi talks to Jon Chu [https://www.jonathanchu.org/], a presidential young professor in international affairs at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, about how people around the world define democracy [https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adp1274]. Does democracy mean elections, freedom of the press, social mobility, or something else? Chu’s team found there was common ground across six countries. In many places with backsliding democracies, leaders may be tempted to change the definition of democracy to their own ends—this study suggests the people they rule won’t be fooled. Next, when staying at home meant choosing between chemistry and basketball, Lena Svanholm sought an opportunity in the U.S. to pursue both. She joins producer Kevin McLean to discuss her next steps in balancing dual careers in science and professional sports. In a sponsored segment from the Science/AAAS Custom Publishing Office, Erika Berg, director and senior editor of Custom Publishing, interviews Michal Elovitz [https://profiles.mountsinai.org/michal-elovitz] about gaps in women’s health research. This segment is sponsored by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai [https://icahn.mssm.edu/]. This week’s episode was produced with help from Podigy [https://podigy.co/].

First up this week, we celebrate 20 years of graphene [https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.zrygdla]—from discovery, to hype, and now reality as it finally finds its place in technology and science. Science journalist Mark Peplow [https://www.markpeplow.com/] joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss graphene’s bumpy journey. Next, producer Meagan Cantwell talks with Seth Darling [https://www.anl.gov/profile/seth-b-darling], chief science and technology officer for the Advanced Energy Technologies Directorate at Argonne National Laboratory, about two new ways to harvest lithium from water [https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads3699]. One approach harnesses sunlight to pull water up through a membrane and collect lithium, whereas the other uses an electrochemical cell to selectively suck lithium up. Finding efficient ways to extract lithium from sources where it’s lower in concentration, such as the ocean, will be crucial as demand increases.
