Hi all! Snow Squall!
HA! This week in Science News we have an amazing study where using determination and science, a group of researchers determined the cause of what was killing birds in the south eastern part of the United States. In Pet Science...it's all about the bacteria in dog feet and if they are safe!

This week on the Science Pawdcast you might have noticed a different start! That was Canadian Mark Meer, a voice actor who has voiced numerous characters in video games. He was the voice of Commander Shepard of the critically acclaimed "Mass Effect" games made by Bioware! Mass Effect is also one of our favorite games (and Patron Ben Ratherts too!)
In Science News we did a deep dive into the stories of radioactive dust being blown back to France from nuclear testing in the Sahara desert! In Pet Science we take a look at a report that gathered data from all the studies which used dogs to help find endangered species and what worked best (answer- dogs did great!)
Our expert guest is Donna Craig, a food safety proctor, and she chats with us about how food safety is taken seriously in the restuarant business, what to watch out for at home and what illnesses are interesting and dangerous from the food science realm!
We have the MAILBAG this week and some trivia!
