Science talk: Watering plants, the first night effect and talking to dogs

from Shirtloads of Science

Dr Karl and Dr Alice put their heads together to discuss the latest research into well… all sorts of stuff! What do hairy leaves have to do with burning plants? Is Dr Karl's fruit and veggie classification (serve it with ice-cream it's a fruit, with gravy it's a vegetable) scientifically accurate? And what exactly do killer kangaroos have to do with being unable to sleep in an unfamiliar bed? Listen up as the Doctors tackle these questions and more. And, if you talk to dogs (like Dr Alice does) there's an experiment you might just want to try.
