One of the wonderful things about science are all of the amazing types of medicine we have developed for our furry friends. There are vaccinations, pest control and more. Also, the fact that dogs are one species and so different from one another in size, color, furriness, etc, always blows my mind. I enjoy thinking about how they’ve been with us for so long (as scientists discovered by looking at the genetic clock) and how we’ve most likely influenced each others’ lives. Taking my dogs to the vet means that I get to spend even more quality time with my canines. 🙂 Thanks for your awesome show! I love what each of you brings and how you have unique voices and perspectives! --Susan Barnum" Send your Science stories to: [email protected] or message us on Facebook - facebook.com/ThisWeekinScience.
