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 [email protected] and follow us on @LockdownScience on Twitter and @LockdownSciencePodcast on Instagram.
