Keeping The Bubbly In Your Holidays, With Fizzical Science As the year winds to a close, you may be attending gatherings where a festive flute of champagne is offered. Champagne production starts out with a first fermentation process that turns ordinary grape juice into alcoholic wine. A second fermentation in the wine bottle produces the dissolved carbon dioxide responsible for the thousands of fizzy bubbles that are a distinctive part of the experience of drinking champagne and other sparkling wines.  In this archival interview from 2012, Ira talks with Stanford University chemist Richard Zare about the interplay between temperature, bubbles, the surface of the glass in which the drink is served, and surprising factors such as lipstick chemistry that can influence the sparkliness of each sip, and delves into the age old question of the best ways to keep an opened bottle of champagne bubbly for longer.     What Was It Like To Witness The End Of The Dinosaurs? 66 million years ago, a massive asteroid hit what we know today as the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. Many people have a general idea of what happened next: The age of the dinosaurs was brought to a close, making room for mammals like us to thrive. But fewer people know what happened in the days, weeks, and years after impact. Increased research on fossils and geological remains from this time period have helped scientists paint a picture of this era. For large, non-avian dinosaurs like Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex, extinction was swift following the asteroid impact. But for creatures that were able to stay underwater and underground, their post-impact stories are more complicated. Joining Ira to discuss her book The Last Days of the Dinosaurs is Riley Black, science writer based in Salt Lake City, Utah.   ‘I Will Not Be Vole Girl'—A Biologist Warms To Rodents The path to becoming a scientist is not unlike the scientific process itself: Filled with dead ends, detours, and bumps along the way. Danielle Lee started asking questions about animal behavior when she was a kid. She originally wanted to become a veterinarian. But after being rejected from veterinary school, she found a fulfilling career as a biologist, doing the type of work she always wanted to do—but never knew was possible for her. Science Friday producer Shoshannah Buxbaum talks with Dr. Danielle Lee, a biologist, outreach scientist, and assistant professor in biology at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in Edwardsville Illinois about what keeps her asking questions, what rodents can help us understand about humans, and the importance of increasing diversity in science. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Want to know how to adapt your marketing during Coronavirus? COVID-19 has thrown up all sorts of challenges, and opportunities, for business owners everywhere. Some have sadly had to close, some are finding it incredibly tough, whilst others are innovating like they've never done before. Today's guest fits into that category. It's a challenge-everything episode 501 of The (award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. Mad scientist, Ben Newsome, is the founder of Fizzics Education, a business delivering science shows, workshops and parties to kids across Australia. Ben's that guy in the white lab coat, protective goggles and ridiculously over-sized rubber gloves who mixes Mentos with Diet Coke, then explains why it explodes! Since 2004, he and his team have built a hugely successful business, reaching over 2 million kids, face-to-face.  Well, COVID-19 changed all that. Schools closed, and events became a no-no, putting an end to the way Fizzics Education had traditionally done business. So, like all mad scientists who come up against blocks, Ben got innovative, leaving no stone unturned as he came up with clever new ways of doing business. The great news is, those clever new ways have proven a huge success, delivering much needed cash flow, stability and purpose for his team, a whole new digital offering that he can scale globally, along with strategic partnerships he could never have imagined. One thing to note as Ben shares what he's done … Please listen with an open mind. If you find yourself saying “It's alright for Ben, but my business is different!” then smack yourself on the wrist and keep listening. Keep asking yourself, “How can I implement that idea in my business?”   Here's the email Ben sent me, detailing idea-by-idea, how he's adapted his marketing during Coronavirus ... Hey Timbo, It's been a while but it's Ben here at Fizzics Education. Not an entry for the monster Prize draw (although I'm happy to say that your podcast is exactly what people need to listen to so they can turn up the dial on their marketing, especially now).

Reached out to this guy called Timbo who runs SBBM :) I've written this so that your listeners can hopefully see that there are plenty of opportunities to make things happen. Yes, everyone's business is different, every industry has its own way with connecting with customers... but the point is that now is the time to get motivated. Now is the time to push harder. Not just for the business and your people, but for the community as a whole.  Please give me a buzz if you need to know anything about the above! Kind regards, Ben Newsome  Here's what grabbed my attention from that chat with Ben ... I love Ben's quote about “Doing something … even if you're not entirely sure what you're doing!” I love the idea of teaching something via an online course you create then selling it on a website like Udemy or even better, your own website. I love how Ben suggested acknowledging you're in overwhelm right now, then get on with it. Build that momentum. If you need some support, then join the SBBM Tribe on Facebook.

In episode 26 we discuss:   Why the first all-female spacewalk never happened The media went nuts recently about how a planned all-female spacewalk was canceled. It seems like patriarchy has reached even the ISS. But the truth is a little more complicated.    Do you hear silent GIFs? GIFs are silent moving images, but certain GIFs can have 'sounds' for some people. How?

Much like glitter, the Shepard tone seems infinite. A tone that appears to rise in pitch forever, the Shepard tone is actually a clever auditory illusion that takes advantage of the brain's inability to process sound with 100% accuracy. Quill and Duncan explain how the tone is made and why it works, give examples of its use, and demo some other auditory illusions.
