Phew! We so hope that our listeners are being safe during the spike in the pandemic. Our province of Alberta has had a massive increase which has forced grade 7-12 school aged kids online again and upturned the education process and shuttered some businesses. Be safe!
On the show today we have an amazing new science story about an accidental discovery of armored ants- it's so interesting! In pet science we take a look at a study which sought to determine who could work better together, wild wolves or domesticated dogs! Our Expert Guest, Emma Hinkle, will amazing you with her knowledge in genetics but also make you think about being the person to bridge groups of opposing views together. You'll find out what a border stalker is!
We have some fun trivia and the MAILBAG! Give it a listen!

Finally, our expert guest is Dr. Amritha Mallikarjun, who absolutely will blow your mind away with her area of study. Dogs and Speech and Dogs and COVID19.
