    Life Under the Sea, No Singing Crabs
    Mar 4 2026

    They say it’s better down where it’s wetter… but is it really? Aquanauts have more in common with astronauts than they do with singing marine life. In fact, NASA conducts research into the biological and psychological effects of space on the ocean floor. This episode, Sam is joined by Dr. Dawn Kernagis, an aquanaut and neuroscientist who spent 16 days living underwater for NASA’s NEEMO 21 Mission. Sam also digs into the recent updates on NASA’s Artemis Mission and how AI is being used to standardize pain classification.

Love the chemistry between friends Calli and Nate whom are the hosts, Also, them going over and discussing current science topics.

While due to format, they don't go in depth on the topics, it is a great way to get enough about new topics to decide if you want to find out more.

Much more entertaining and enjoyable than trying to go alone to find interesting science topics!

It's almost like you're just sitting down with friends and discussing the topics.

Quick way to find out about new things in science
