We’re bacccckkkk! Season 4 of The Unbiased Science Podcast has officially kicked off! We opened the season having a chat with Dr. Peter Hotez last week, and this week, we did a hygiene roundup. Just how often should you wash your sheets?! Catch up on the first two episodes here.
We also dropped a ton of new merch for Season 4. Tees, hoodies, and totes. Get yours before they’re gone!
Did you know that blue is one of the rarest colors found in nature? That being said, imagine how surprised researchers in Thailand were, when they found a new species of tarantula with blue hair! Read more about the exciting discovery here.
