Season 6 Episode 21: Climate Change Rocks, Black Dogs, and Exploring Space

The Science Pawdcast

Are facility dogs with black fur unfairly judged? Join us as we uncover the findings of a recent study tackling black dog bias in courtrooms, revealing surprising insights that could reshape how facility dogs are viewed in legal settings.
Prepare to be amazed by the potential of Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) as we explore its role in combating climate change. Discover the science behind using volcanic rock to reduce atmospheric CO2 by up to 215 billion tons over the next 75 years. Not only does ERW help the environment, but it also boosts soil health and crop productivity. Hear about current test implementations across the globe and how this method works in tandem with other carbon capture technologies.
We also welcome Jasmine Singh, a soon-to-be grad student and science communicator, who adds depth to our conversation with her unique experiences and perspectives.
Our cosmic journey doesn't stop there. Delve into the latest discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope, tantalizing tidbits from asteroid Bennu, and the thrilling anticipation of upcoming missions like Europa Clipper.
Jasmine Singh shares her optimistic view on the search for extraterrestrial life and the captivating power of social media in spreading scientific knowledge. Plus, enjoy heartwarming stories of our beloved pets and reflections on the intersection of life on Earth and the vast frontier of space.
