A Kansas Citian just returned from his first trip back to Puerto Rico since it was devastated by two hurricanes. We hear how recovery is going from his on-the-ground perspective.
Then: when you think of Antarctica, you may picture a vast land covered with snow. But did you know that plants used to grow there? A scientist is back from an Arctic expedition with plant fossils that she collected — fossils that may tell us something about how life withstands climate change.
Also: A local researcher, whose work was recently featured in a New Yorker article, looks into how people used language to categorize and describe colors.
Guests:
- Jose Marti, board member, Puerto Rican Society of Greater Kansas City
- Patty Ryberg, Assistant Professor, Department of Biology, Park University
