What do cephalopods and science communication have in common? None other than this week’s special guest, Dr. Sarah McAnulty! Not only is she a squid biologist, science communicator, and street artist, she’s the founder of Skype a Scientist—a nonprofit organization that connects scientists and students (and lifelong learners) around the world through live video chats..

Join Laura, Katy, and Sarah as they dissect what makes squid (and other cephalopods) so incredible and why sharing science in a compelling and easily understood way is so important.

If you’d like to learn more about Sarah:

Welcome back, Nature Nerds!
Let’s kick off season five with some real tools—or tool users, rather. Tool use is considered a sign of high intelligence, but did you know that more than just humans and apes can use them? Join Katy, Laura, and Kim as they discuss some of their favorite (and unexpected) tool users in today’s episode.

"Accurate" Fairy Tales

For the Love of Nature

5.0

Have you ever wondered how the big bad wolf managed to wear grandma’s clothing and trick Little Red Riding Hood? Or which species of bean plant could actually grow tall enough to reach giants in the sky? (And while we’re at it, why are there giants in the sky anyway?) This week, Katy and Laura take a look at the scientific accuracy of fairy tales—what they got right, what they most definitely didn’t, and what these stories would sound like if the authors couldn’t take creative liberties.
