    Underneath our feet are what's left of the bones of millions of animals that roamed the Rockies long before we were born.

    The fossils of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures can be found from Idaho to Wyoming to Canada, if you know where to look for them.

    So where are the best parks and trails to find fossils or to learn more about their history? To answer those questions we turn to Dr. Patricia Quinlisk, the former Medical Director and State Epidemiologist with the Iowa Department of Public Health and in her spare time she's something of a dinosaur expert.

    When you look at a flower, you can usually tell if it looks healthy or is on its last leaves. But what exactly makes it a good flower, and how does it stand out from the rest? Some experts in our region have it down to a science.

    The Mountain West News Bureau's Emma VandenEinde visited their garden to watch the process.

    Last week, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said Idaho could enforce its abortion ban despite a legal challenge against it. That lifts a partial injunction on the ban and puts the law back into effect.

    Jen Jackson Quintano, who lives in Sandpoint, has been watching the abortion debate since 2022 when the U.S. Supreme Court said it was up to states to decide when or if abortions could happen in their boundaries.

    Jackson Quintano wanted to create a safe space for Idahoans to talk about their abortion experiences and to fight the shame that can surround the topic, so she started the Pro-Voice Project and created a play using personal stories about abortion.

    The first play premiered in January and next week, Reverend Sara LaWall is bringing another version to Boise. They both joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    You may have heard the phrase, "if you bought it, a truck brought it." Long-haul trucking is a major part of American commerce and greenhouse gas emissions.

    Why seniors are staying motivated to go to the gym Oct 05, 2023

    When it comes to staying healthy physical activity is important, especially as we start to get older.

    The benefits of staying active include lower risk of disease, more mental clarity, better sleep, increased energy ... the list goes on. However, according to the CDC, over 60% of adults in the U.S. are not getting enough exercise, which can negatively impact their long-term health.

    So Boise State psychology professor Dr. Mary Pritchard and student Susan Copple decided to partner with several branches of the Treasure Valley YMCA to take a look at the adults that were staying active, particularly those 60 years or older and find out what motivated them to get into the gym and keep going back. Susan Copple joined Idaho Matters to talk more the study.
