Antarctica Jul 03, 2024

Show notes

Antarctica, the coldest place on Earth, is a land of extremes and a hub for scientific research. It is considered a desert due to its minimal precipitation, yet it holds 70% of the world's freshwater frozen within its massive ice sheet. Despite its harsh conditions, Antarctica supports diverse wildlife, including penguins, seals, and even unique microorganisms in its subglacial lakes. Scientists study its ice cores to understand past climate patterns. Additionally, Antarctica's clear skies make it an ideal location for astrophysics research. The continent is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, which prohibits military activity and promotes international cooperation for scientific exploration.

The Mona Lisa Vanishes Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

In 1911, a man by the name of Vincenzo Peruggia hid in the Louvre after closing. He went into a gallery, took a small Renaissance portrait off the wall and the following morning, he walked out with it under his cloak. That theft brought The Mona Lisa out of the museum and into pop culture. This week as it is back to school season, we thought it might be fun to cover a great historical heist and a new middle grade non fiction book telling the story that is stranger than fiction.

We had a special guest this week as Nicholas Day, author of The Mona Lisa Vanishes participated in a rapid fire "Fact or Fake" segment telling us some fun facts and dispelling myths about the most famous painting in the world.
