We dove into why there’s a mass die-off of snow crabs and the harvest has been halted for a year in Alaska. We also talked about NASA crashing a drone into an asteroid and new, haunting James Webb telescope images.

Wrapped up talking about why mosquitoes may like you more than others and flustered Spencer by trying to make her explain quantum physics in 3 minutes.
