\n\nThis week Matt Sauers is back and we're looking we're looking at the shiny new technological idea that could turn back the clock on climate change...or it could fundamentally alter the atmosphere setting in motion a series of events that renders the planet unlivable. So let's ask the question, is it better to invest in solar engineering? Or would we be better served to put that time and effort into finding more sustainable types of energy. Plus we're also talking about some polluted pollinators that are covered in dinosaur juice exhaust.

This week, we have three stories that don't appear to have an obvious application to our lives, but who knows what the future will bring. We're talking about projects that are created and funded for the sake of discovering something about our world...its science for science's sake. So join us as we talk about soft robots that get even softer as they melt into a puddle of toxic goo, a nano bead that can write on water, and why our squishy human bodies aren't quite ready to explore the stars.

\n\nNaila is a postdoctoral student at McGill, co-supervised by Dr. Stefanie Blain-Moraes and Dr. Aliki Thomas. She obtained her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of British Columbia, in which she studied the neurobiology of Parkinson's disease in a genetic mouse model. Given a particular interest in dance and circus, Naila dabbled in art-science collaborations throughout her studies, including with Vancouver-based Curiosity Collider and the Convergence Initiative in Montreal. This prompted her to start the Piece of Mind Collective with several enthusiastic, like-minded individuals back in 2018, and to pursue a postdoc in arts-based knowledge translation in 2020. Naila is also co-founder of the "Green Labs Initiative @ McGill", which aims to reduce the environmental impact of research, and a regular host on the "AMiNDR: A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research" podcast.

\nThe Science Night Podcast is a member of the Riverpower Podcast Mill family
This week we talk to Dr. Jen Verdolin, the host of the Wild Connection podcast, about her work studying prairie dogs and her recent visit to Glasgow in an attempt to...SAVE THE WORLD. In the news, we talk about delayed launches, solar satellites, forgotten freezer DNA, and we tease a future interview about our favorite paleo pathway.
\n\nOur Guest
\nWidely regarded animal behavior scientist, author, and science communicator, Dr. Jennifer Verdolin has been a featured guest on BBC Earth Podcast, National Public Radio, and many others. From 2014-2018 she had a recurring role as a radio personality on the nationally syndicated D.L Hughley Show, hosted by American Peabody award-winning comedian, D.L. Hughley.
After the publication of her two nonfiction popular science books, Wild Connection and Raised by Animals, Jennifer has been using her expertise to contribute to the development and production of documentaries. From Animals in Love (Oxford Scientific Films) to Spy in the Wild (John Downer Productions) and Animal Social Networks (Rotating Planet Productions), Jennifer has been a scientific consultant, writer, researcher, and on-screen contributor. She also writes for Psychology Today and is an Assistant Professor in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Arizona.
\n\nAside from being sought after to contribute to media projects, Jennifer is an engaging speaker, delighting and sharing with audiences the lessons we can learn from other animals to improve our lives, relationships, and families. Her appearances have included places like the world-renowned 92nd St Y in New York City. Delivering engaging science is her specialty whether it’s in print, on the radio, on screen, or in front of a live audience.

What does it mean to be bipedal? How do we know what we know about this process in our own human lineage? How important is the continued reevaluation of fossil remains, and old hypotheses? To help answer these questions, we have the author of the new book First Steps: How Upright Walking Made Us Human, Jeremy DeSilva

Is the zombie apocalypse really possible? Worse yet, has it already started? Dr. Athena Aktipis stopped by to answer these questions and more.
\n\nAthena Aktipis is a psychology professor at Arizona State University that studies cooperation in ways ranging from its evolution in human societies and all the way down to the cellular level with her work in researching how we think about cancer and potential new ways to treat it. She’s also really into the zombie apocalypse and zombification which is the topic of this show, so grab your go bag and head to your bunkers as we talk zombification with Athena Aktipis.

Who owns the past? Why should we care about this question? How annoyed can James make a guest by comparing them to Indiana Jones or Lara Croft? In this episode I talked with Gypsy Price, a bioarchaeologist, about a lot of things. Topics range from her work in Greece, cultural resource management, what to do with a degree in archaeology, and why Britain should return the Parthenon Marbles to Greece.
