Nerds be honest, would it really surprise you to learn our first news story this week was about animals getting drunk? No, I didn't think so. SCIENCE.

Followed up but a new discovery about a species of dogbane plant at a botanical gardens in Japan then some good news about a hefty fine on a fossil fuel company, we love to see it.

This week Ryan & Nadia responsibly crack open a beer as they learn how dry it has actually been in England so far in 2025 & what that means for autumn & winter. Then we are ducking back into 1990s science & learning about the ozone layer & how that old issue got resolved.

Although we are off resting for 6 weeks, we couldn't quite leave you nerds with no conservation chat could we?

4 years after connecting with Kate on socials, we finally got a time to have a chat & record an episode. Kate is a researcher & fantastic science communicator (no awards given for the nerds who guess what we speak about here). From what conservation means to Kate to discussing the problems with the rising content both on socials & documentaries with the "up close & personal" with dangerous animals, this chat was insightful & an absolute joy.
