Ep. 36 - Spring Science Geek Out
Category: Science & Medicine
Duration: 00:00:00
Publish Date: 2019-03-29 11:59:48
Description:

Spring is here, and the guys hit the trail to discuss spring-related science, including how climate change is impacting global plant growth and how it’s changing bird migration. Plus, Bill gives a (sort of) rebuttal to Steve’s unprovoked and vicious attack on Charles Darwin from last episode. Happy Spring!

This episode was recorded on March 17th, 2019 at Sinking Ponds Wildlife Sanctuary in East Aurora, NY.
