At some point, we will get back on track. But listen as we discuss how early trees might have grown, flies that are attracted to the complex mating calls of a Panamanian tungara frog, Mediterranian nudibranhs that engage in kleptopredation, and a surprisingly cool study of how mosquitos avoid getting swatted after eating.

Hashtag Science 015: Send Nudis

Late as usual, but here we are talking about just what are gravitational waves, fossil salamanders, quantum communication in real settings, tree lobsters, drug manufacturing, and Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

Hashtag Science 014: DRUGS

Life might get in the way, but we have a show! Learn about the Nobel Prizes this year, yelling caterpillars, pesticides in honey, algae blooms in Ohio again, robots learning martial arts, and rat evolution.

Hashtag Science 013: Nunchucked to Death

Some damned internet problems will not stop the return of Matt to the show! He returns from Costa Rica, a deadline, and is very fortunately back home after hurricane Irma. He starts to knock some of that podcasting rust off with some sea snakes that adapt to pollution, robots that are made of DNA this time, and strange colonial spider behavior.

Hashtag Science 012: Odd Mating Behaviors

Better late than never right? Jason and regular Kelyn talk about some light-hearted science with sharks that have friends, the end of Cassini, a robot that aims licorice at your face, and how squirrels organize their winter hoards.

Hashtag Science 011: Shark Version of Facebook

The first double digit episode is celebrated by having a one man show! Jason talks a short bit about a new application for VR, and an extension of our nanomachine talks a couple episodes back.

Hashtag Science 010: VR for a Mouse

In this episode, Jason is joined again by Kelyn Carlson to talk to Karie Altman about her PhD work on the thermal biology of host parasite interactions in amphibians. We also talk about how bees recognize the number zero, the first flower, nanomachines, GIFs and E. coli, sea lice, and unmeltable ice cream.

Hashtag Science 009: A Dog that has Nanomachines

We have ourselves a late episode. Blame the AirBnB where Jason stayed. Listen in as Matt talks about his trip to Austin and Jason for his trip to Ecuador for conferences.

Hashtag Science 008: Can't Plant Flowers if You Haven't Botany

An early episode as Matt heads to Austin to present his work about snakes. Listen as we chat about the funniest wildlife photos, how France is going to start KILLING it in climate change and public health, recent findings from Saturnian moon Enceladus, and how sea spiders circulate oxygen.

Hashtag Science 007: Gandalf the Lizard

Jason and Matt find a second guest, Kelyn Carlson, to talk about teaching and cats. Listen as we talk about black holes, tactile computer models, finches that use cigarettes to ward of parasites, possibly crazy cat ladies, InspiroBot, Boaty McBoatface, and the magnetic fields of Uranus.

Hashtag Science 006: You Can't Ride Him

This episode, the boys talk about Matt going to Aruba, biodegradable microbeads, spiders that shoot silk like Spider-Man, miniature radio collars for frogs, and how math and science should be used to communicate our intellect to alien civilization.

Hashtag Science 005: Guilty-Looking Scorpion

We talk about President Trump and his announcement to leave the Paris Climate Accord. Some time after that, Jason and Matt talk about Jupiter, 3D printed pasta, and a monument to peer review in Russia. We also go deep into some new evidence of snakes hunting cooperatively in Cuba.

Hashtag Science 004: Childish Years

We live up to our description as we talk about a new dinosaur that looks like Zuul, how they could have survived the meteor. We remember a beloved ASU faculty that was a mentor to Jason. A creationist is suing a canyon, sleep deprivation increases chronic pain, lab and wild mice are very different, and how pythons could be used to study blood disorders.

Hashtag Science 003: Shin Destroyer

This episode we welcome our first guest, zoo educator Jen Lindsay to the show! Listen to us three talk about a triumph in US science funding, drunk crayfish, dragonflies that fake their death, recent studies in embryonic development, how to throw, what naked mole rats are up to, and citizen science video games.

Hashtag Science 002: The Lady Named Rufus

In our inaugural episode, Jason and Matt talk about their March for Science plans, a surprising number of reptile stories on drugs, sleep, and color, that giant worm clam, ants that rescue their own, and super smart fish!

Hashtag Science 001: A Bulletproof Glass-Bottomed Boat

Two scientists and old friends talk to each other about the latest science, no matter the field, and invite other scientists to learn us a thing or two.
