Are we sure about fluoride?

Florida just became the second state to ban fluoride from its water system, which has made some public health experts pretty angry. Just how risky is fluoride really, and why is it so hard for us to get on the same page?

The man who walked butterflies on a leash

Static electricity plays an invisible role in the natural world, and it may even help insects pollinate plants. To understand this hidden force, scientists have jumped through some pretty weird experimental hoops — and “walked” butterflies through literal hoops. Guests: Sam England [https://www.museumfuernaturkunde.berlin/en/museum/today/team/sam.england], postdoctoral researcher at Berlin's National History Museum; Benji Jones [https://www.vox.com/authors/benji-jones], Vox's environmental correspondent To read more about this experiment, Benji recommends this great article from Quanta Magazine [https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-hidden-world-of-electrostatic-ecology-20240930/], where he first encountered Sam's work.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
