    • Science

This episode comes from a conversation with the Director of Life Sciences here at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.



His research focuses on hibernation! Why do animals do it? What's the difference between say... torpor and taking a nap? Could humans ever hibernate?



Plus, we get to dive into some other fascinating research about fish species, specifically, the very cute pupfish, which somehow live in the desert!
