I've been working in radio, podcasts and video for almost 20 years. I created and hosted the podcast Every Little Thing, which ran for five years and published more than 200 episodes. Previously, I wrote for Bill Nye's Netflix show "Bill Nye Saves the World” and co-directed the Emmy-nominated video series Animated Life on The New York Times Op-Docs channel. We lost to Oprah. I created and hosted The Adaptors podcast about climate change, worked as a video editor and substitute host at public radio’s Science Friday and co-wrote a book on the science of annoyingness. And long, long ago, I worked for a NATO oceanographic lab in Italy. For the lab's research expeditions, I lived on a ship where apertivi were served on the top deck, hoisted there via pulley by the ship's chef.

When he was a teenager in Romania, Raul Oaida became obsessed with building things: a jet-engine bike, a tiny spaceship, a LEGO car that runs on air. Why? Well, why not?

Many of us spend more waking hours at our desk than anywhere else. Writer and neurologist Oliver Sacks explains what his desk means to him in the first in a series of Desktop Diaries. From lumps of metal to lemurs, Sacks describes some of his treasures, his preferred method for writing his books and why he takes comfort in dense metals.

Every atom in our bodies was processed in the body of an ancient star, says NASA astronomer Dr. Michelle Thaller. Thaller explains how the iron in our blood connects us to one of the most violent acts in the universe—a supernova explosion—and what the universe might look like when the stars die out.

Hiding in plain sight and deceptively still, treehoppers have evolved an ingenious way to communicate-using a complex series of vibrations. Now, scientists are listening in and starting to crack the treehopper code. And it turns out, these insect conversations are happening nearly everywhere they eavesdrop-from tropical rainforests to urban gardens.
This animated documentary tells the story of polar explorer Alfred Wegener, the unlikely scientist behind continental drift theory.

When marine biologist Roger Hanlon captured the first scene in this video, he started screaming. Hanlon studies camouflage in cephalopods -- squid, cuttlefish and octopus -- who are masters of optical illusion.
