Toxic Miscalculations and Wombat burrows

from Lost in Science Hosted by Chris Lassig, Linden Ashcroft

This week on Lost in Science, Chris digs into the surprising miscalculations of toxins in black plastic utensils—should we be worried about what’s lurking in our plastic spatulas? Meanwhile, Linden takes us underground (metaphorically, of course) to explore the world of one of Australia’s most beloved marsupials: the wombat! How do we know where they burrow, and what can satellites tell us about their changing habitats?
