  1. Hashtag Science 015: Send Nudis

    At some point, we will get back on track. But listen as we discuss how early trees might have grown, flies that are attracted to the complex mating calls of a Panamanian tungara frog, Mediterranian nudibranhs that engage in kleptopredation, and a surprisingly cool study of how mosquitos avoid...

  2. Hashtag Science 014: DRUGS

    Late as usual, but here we are talking about just what are gravitational waves, fossil salamanders, quantum communication in real settings, tree lobsters, drug manufacturing, and Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

  4. Hashtag Science 012: Odd Mating Behaviors

    Some damned internet problems will not stop the return of Matt to the show! He returns from Costa Rica, a deadline, and is very fortunately back home after hurricane Irma. He starts to knock some of that podcasting rust off with some sea snakes that adapt to pollution, robots that are made of DNA...

  5. Hashtag Science 011: Shark Version of Facebook

    Better late than never right? Jason and regular Kelyn talk about some light-hearted science with sharks that have friends, the end of Cassini, a robot that aims licorice at your face, and how squirrels organize their winter hoards.

  6. Hashtag Science 010: VR for a Mouse

    An early episode as Matt heads to Austin to present his work about snakes. Listen as we chat about the funniest wildlife photos, how France is going to start KILLING it in climate change and public health, recent findings from Saturnian moon Enceladus, and how sea spiders circulate oxygen.

  10. Hashtag Science 006: You Can't Ride Him

    Jason and Matt find a second guest, Kelyn Carlson, to talk about teaching and cats. Listen as we talk about black holes, tactile computer models, finches that use cigarettes to ward of parasites, possibly crazy cat ladies, InspiroBot, Boaty McBoatface, and the magnetic fields of Uranus.

  11. Hashtag Science 005: Guilty-Looking Scorpion

    This episode, the boys talk about Matt going to Aruba, biodegradable microbeads, spiders that shoot silk like Spider-Man, miniature radio collars for frogs, and how math and science should be used to communicate our intellect to alien civilization.

  12. Hashtag Science 004: Childish Years

    We talk about President Trump and his announcement to leave the Paris Climate Accord. Some time after that, Jason and Matt talk about Jupiter, 3D printed pasta, and a monument to peer review in Russia. We also go deep into some new evidence of snakes hunting cooperatively in Cuba.

  13. Hashtag Science 003: Shin Destroyer

    We live up to our description as we talk about a new dinosaur that looks like Zuul, how they could have survived the meteor. We remember a beloved ASU faculty that was a mentor to Jason. A creationist is suing a canyon, sleep deprivation increases chronic pain, lab and wild mice are very…
