The Science Pawdcast

Can you imagine astronauts running sideways inside a lunar cylinder to stay fit?
This innovative exercise routine could revolutionize how astronauts maintain muscle mass and cardiovascular health during prolonged space missions.
We reflect on the importance of exercise routines, especially as we age, and how imaginative approaches can make fitness fun, even on the moon.
Get insightful revelations from a comprehensive study on osteosarcoma in dogs. Using data from over 900,000 dogs in the Vet Compass program, researchers have identified specific breeds at a higher risk for this severe bone tumor. We explore how breed, body weight, and skull length influence these risks, shedding light on practical implications for veterinary practices. Learn how these findings can help vets diagnose and manage osteosarcoma more effectively, especially in high-risk breeds like the Scottish Deerhound and Great Dane.
Take a leap into the captivating world of marine science with Dr. April Abbott. Experience life aboard research vessels, from the camaraderie of midnight rations to the logistical challenges of marine expeditions.
We also discuss the critical study of sediments and elements like neodymium and chromium to understand Earth's historical climate changes and predict future environmental shifts. This episode is packed with scientific discoveries, engaging anecdotes, and the thrill of oceanic exploration.
