The One That Causes Fear Lockdown Science

This week we’re asking whether octopuses dream of punching fish, finding out how the Amazon rainforest was born, wondering whether we’re heading for a fiery asteroid-generated doom, learning about how major corporations are turning their backs on deep-sea mining, slipping between the pages of an ancient book to find a butterfly, working out what an April fool can tell us about ecological modelling, and getting acquainted with a fearsome new dinosaur.
If you find some fun science that you think deserves its place on the show, we'd love to hear from you! Get in touch with us at lockdownsciencepodcast@gmail.com and follow us on @LockdownScience on Twitter and @LockdownSciencePodcast on Instagram.
