  • Scientific Method: The Cicadas Are Coming

    Scientific Method: The Cicadas Are Coming
    May 14 2024
    What has red eyes, lives underground for years, and screeches all summer long? That would be cicadas. And they're here.

    And more are coming.For the first time in over two hundred years, billions of cicadas are digging their way up from underground in a rare biological occurrence.

    Scientists are calling it a double brood emergence because two cicada broods will be above ground at the same time. Depending on where you live, you might have already seen them flying around or their infamous exoskeletons skins.

    For this installment of Scientific Method, our series where we speak to experts about the latest in the science world, we're talking about cicadas.

  • 'If You Can Keep It': The Rising Cost Of Running A Campaign

    'If You Can Keep It': The Rising Cost Of Running A Campaign
    May 13 2024
    Maryland is one of three states holding primaries tomorrow. It's also attracting outsized national attention because of the outsized amount of money being spent.

    Maryland's Senate race is the third most expensive nationwide behind California and Texas. That's thanks largely to the self-financed campaign of wealthy Democrat David Trone. He currently serves in the House.

    He's part of a wave of self-funded candidates nationwide. That rise coincides with the ever-surging cost of funding a campaign. Political ad spending in the 2024 election cycle is expected to exceed $16 billion.

    We discuss the cost of campaigns and how they're funded.

  • Why Birds Are Having A Harder Time Migrating And How We Can Help

    Why Birds Are Having A Harder Time Migrating And How We Can Help
    May 12 2024
    Billions of birds are making their way around the world right now as part of their annual spring migration.

    But climate change, habitat loss, and human infrastructure are making that journey harder for a lot of species.

    That's why conservation and government groups come together twice a year to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day – but maybe they also just want an excuse to talk about our feathered friends.

    Either way, we're happy to oblige.
