At some point, we will get back on track. But listen as we discuss how early trees might have grown, flies that are attracted to the complex mating calls of a Panamanian tungara frog, Mediterranian nudibranhs that engage in kleptopredation, and a surprisingly cool study of how mosquitos avoid getting swatted after eating.

Late as usual, but here we are talking about just what are gravitational waves, fossil salamanders, quantum communication in real settings, tree lobsters, drug manufacturing, and Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

Life might get in the way, but we have a show! Learn about the Nobel Prizes this year, yelling caterpillars, pesticides in honey, algae blooms in Ohio again, robots learning martial arts, and rat evolution.

Some damned internet problems will not stop the return of Matt to the show! He returns from Costa Rica, a deadline, and is very fortunately back home after hurricane Irma. He starts to knock some of that podcasting rust off with some sea snakes that adapt to pollution, robots that are made of DNA this time, and strange colonial spider behavior.

Better late than never right? Jason and regular Kelyn talk about some light-hearted science with sharks that have friends, the end of Cassini, a robot that aims licorice at your face, and how squirrels organize their winter hoards.

The first double digit episode is celebrated by having a one man show! Jason talks a short bit about a new application for VR, and an extension of our nanomachine talks a couple episodes back.

In this episode, Jason is joined again by Kelyn Carlson to talk to Karie Altman about her PhD work on the thermal biology of host parasite interactions in amphibians. We also talk about how bees recognize the number zero, the first flower, nanomachines, GIFs and E. coli, sea lice, and unmeltable ice cream.

We have ourselves a late episode. Blame the AirBnB where Jason stayed. Listen in as Matt talks about his trip to Austin and Jason for his trip to Ecuador for conferences.

An early episode as Matt heads to Austin to present his work about snakes. Listen as we chat about the funniest wildlife photos, how France is going to start KILLING it in climate change and public health, recent findings from Saturnian moon Enceladus, and how sea spiders circulate oxygen.

Jason and Matt find a second guest, Kelyn Carlson, to talk about teaching and cats. Listen as we talk about black holes, tactile computer models, finches that use cigarettes to ward of parasites, possibly crazy cat ladies, InspiroBot, Boaty McBoatface, and the magnetic fields of Uranus.

This episode, the boys talk about Matt going to Aruba, biodegradable microbeads, spiders that shoot silk like Spider-Man, miniature radio collars for frogs, and how math and science should be used to communicate our intellect to alien civilization.

We talk about President Trump and his announcement to leave the Paris Climate Accord. Some time after that, Jason and Matt talk about Jupiter, 3D printed pasta, and a monument to peer review in Russia. We also go deep into some new evidence of snakes hunting cooperatively in Cuba.

We live up to our description as we talk about a new dinosaur that looks like Zuul, how they could have survived the meteor. We remember a beloved ASU faculty that was a mentor to Jason. A creationist is suing a canyon, sleep deprivation increases chronic pain, lab and wild mice are very different, and how pythons could be used to study blood disorders.

This episode we welcome our first guest, zoo educator Jen Lindsay to the show! Listen to us three talk about a triumph in US science funding, drunk crayfish, dragonflies that fake their death, recent studies in embryonic development, how to throw, what naked mole rats are up to, and citizen science video games.

In our inaugural episode, Jason and Matt talk about their March for Science plans, a surprising number of reptile stories on drugs, sleep, and color, that giant worm clam, ants that rescue their own, and super smart fish!

Jason and Matt test this new podcast thing talking about new animal species near deep sea vents, laser-proof bird goggles, and the organic compounds on Mars found by Curiosity.
