228: Peter Hyoguchi on T-Rex Feathers, CRISPR Human Trials and The Hole In Mars

The Science Jerks: Real Science, Real Comedians, Real Funny

Filmmaker Peter Hyoguchi (peterhyoguchi.com) returns to talk with us about T-Rex's newfound lack of feathers, the results of China testing gene editing on humans and a conspiracy-rich hole on Mars. Plus we figure out if it's possible to talk to squirrels.
