What if you could uncover the secrets of Mars with the help of an expert scientist? This week, we had the privilege of having a fascinating conversation with Dr. Dabarati Daa, a Mars scientist with a doctorate in geology and a postdoc at Los Alamos National Broad Street. We explored Mars' intriguing similarities and differences to Earth, including its roughly 24-hour day and carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere. Dr. Das also shared her incredible journey from a struggling math student to an accomplished Mars researcher.During the episode, we dove into Dr. Das's experiences in Japan studying meteorites and her research on extraterrestrial materials. We discussed the lithium isotope variation across minerals in meteorites and the effects of space weathering. Dr. Das also shared her expertise in the ChemCam instrument and her work with the Mars Science Laboratory team. We even examined the potential of using cyanobacteria to create a more hospitable environment for plants on Mars.As if that wasn't enough excitement, we also touched on the upcoming Dragonfly mission to explore Saturn's moon Titan and pondered the power source of the Curiosity Rover. Finally, we delved into The Arc, a science fiction show that sparks thought-provoking discussions about Earth's environment and the potential challenges of colonizing Mars.

What if plate tectonics isn't settled science? Consensus suggests Earth's crust has been going through relatively constant supercontinent cycles for as long as there has been a solid crust. There are all kinds of measurements and experiments that seem to confirm this observation - but there are whose who insist that the ancient history of the Earth is not what it seems. Rather than being formed as a molten ball of naked space goo, condensed from the sun's protoplanetary disk, it's possible that the Earth formed hot and gassy - like Jupiter, or the sizzling gas giants that Kepler is regularly finding in close solar orbits. If that's possible - and our recent conversation with NASA's Don Pettit suggests there is a solid line of evidence here - how does that change our understanding of the Earth? Enter Dr. J. Marvin Herndon, who proposes the history of our planet is a history of decompression. In this episode of the DemystifySci podcast, he takes us through his theory and, along the way, explains everything from the composition of the inner core, to the generation of the magnetic field, to the reason that the surface of the Earth looks the way it does.

The President's Tax Returns Stay Private, For Now (0:31)Guest: Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, Professor of Law, Stetson University, Brennan Center fellow, author of “Political Brands” and “Corporate Citizen?”Both President Trump and his critics are claiming victory in the US Supreme Court's ruling on whether or not he can be compelled to release his tax returns. Water Bills Around the Country Have Dramatically Risen in Recent Decades (20:36)Guest: Roger Colton, Public Utilities Economics Consultant, Fisher Sheehan & ColtonHow's your water bill these days? On average, water bills in US cities have jumped a lot in the last decade. So much, so, that America is verging on a water affordability crisis. Is it because we're running out of water? Or because of something else? Soda Ads Skyrocket (36:42)Guest: Jennifer Harris, Senior Research Advisor, University of Connecticut's Rudd Center Soda consumption has been steadily declining in the US for over a decade now. But teens, minority and low-income youth are a different story. The Rudd Center's latest “Sugary Drink Facts” report finds that young people consume sugary drinks in the US at a disproportionate level. And that parallels large increases in advertising aimed at youth overall, and Black and Brown youth in particular. The Volcano under Yellowstone Might Be Chilling Out (52:53)Guest: Thomas Knott, Geochemist at the School of Geography, Geology and the Environment, University of Leicester, UK.2020 has definitely felt a bit apocalyptic. What with the fires in Australia, a pandemic, locusts, and killer hornets. It seems like the only thing that could make it worse would the eruption of the supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park. But here's some good news: a new geological survey of Yellowstone shows that the next major eruption might be much, much further away than previously thought. Tracking the Uighur People of China (1:10:34)Guest: Darren Byler, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Asian Studies at the University of Colorado, BoulderThe US last week imposed strict sanctions on three senior officials of the Chinese Communist party over alleged human rights abuses against the Uighur Muslim community in western China. The Chinese government is promising “reciprocal measures” against the US. Chinese leaders view the Uighur Muslims as a security threat and up to a million of them have been detained in prisons and internment camps. An American digital security company called Lookout recently released a report showing the Chinese government's extensive use of malware on smartphones to track Uyghurs in China and other countries. How do Workplace Stereotypes Impact Pregnant Women? (1:29:19)Guest: Lindsey Lavaysse, Recent Doctoral Graduate, Washington State University VancouverAcross the US workforce, only two percent of employees are pregnant, so being one of those women can be pretty isolating. Survey research by Lindsey Lavaysse at Washington State University found that it's common for pregnant women to work extra hard–even risking injury–for fear of confirming stereotypes about pregnant women being incompetent or weak.
