What does nature have to do with the worst naval disaster in US History? A surprising amount, when you consider that on July 30th, 1945, 1,100 Navy men were forced into shark-infested waters and only 316 of them were pulled out 4 days later.
For our first mini of Nature Camp, we're headed into the wilds of New Zealand, where a handful of very special birds make their homes. Learn why the Kākāpō has stolen our hearts with their tale of being too sweet to live and how humans are making sure they stick around.

We're not letting the handwashing thing go. This week we're talking about the guy who invented it. Kind of? Or least he was VERY vocal about it in the medical community. (Yes, the audio is a little weird, it was 90+ degrees and Emily needed that fan.)

Sara's taking us back to the cemetery! This time we're confronting our mortality via little pictures of skeletons and such on headstones and it's actually way more fun that I just made it sound.

We've all heard about the search for the missing link- the evolutionary step between apes and man. Well, at one point in the early 20th century, some guy in England claimed that he had found it in the form of a skull. But did he really? Probably not, or we wouldn't be having this talk.
