In this episode, we will talk about the relationship between climate change and COVID- 19. The increased chance of death from cardiac arrest in COVID-19 patients and the benefit of humidity trapped behind the face mask to combat this disease. We will also talk about how some sperms poison other sperms to win the egg and the new technology to convert waste heat to electricity. We finish this podcast with answering two questions that why the food sticks to the non-sticking pan and is it safe to keep tooth brushes in the toilet or not.
