À propos de cet audio
Co-hosts Matt Smith and Brian Cross mix up a powerful cocktail of mamba venom and xenon gas in the headlines. Matt’s Chemical Minute reaches a premature climax with the ultimate element: carbon. And Brian visits the Sutton Avian Research Center to learn more about bobwhites, prairie chickens, and the history of shotgun ornithology.
