Season 4 Episode 32: Caveman DNA, Fishing Cats, and Dr. Wendy Bohan on Earthquakes
Hi all!
Our family (well me) took a mental health break last week and we didn't release a podcast episode. I had parent teaching interviews at my school and I just literally ran out of time.
We are back with a super fun story about the Nobel Prizes! Well one of them! It's all about ancient human DNA! Our Pet Story...well it's not really about Pets but it's about The Fishing Cat! What? Listen on! Finally our guest is Dr. Wendy Bohan, a geologist, and she was just the BEST guest! She rocks! HA!
Adam is back with the family section!
