    Nitrogen, rhizobia, and legumes

    Today we’re talking about nitrogen fixation, a process that allows plants to take up nitrogen from soil to *live* and lets us eat those plants to also *live*, and the bacteria that makes it all go ‘round: rhizobia. We delve into the symbiotic relationship of legume plants and rhizobia, bird pee and mammal pee, and the invention of mustard gas, and somehow it’s all related!

    Jellyfish-inspired drug delivery!

    At first glance, jellyfish and drug delivery don’t seem to have much in common, but the beauty of nature is how so many critters have evolved some pretty creative solutions for survival, which we can now use as inspiration in medicine! Come learn about the unique way jellyfish sting us and how scientists could use this for drug delivery. ARMOR on the Air is a student-led podcast based out of the University of Colorado Boulder.
