Dan kicks things off with the latest in science news—starting with how levitating magnets might help crack the mystery of dark matter. Next, we explore how climate change is putting Gila monsters at risk.

Then, we answer your questions! Lola wants to know: Where water came from and Megan Howard from Cotswolds Wildlife answers Ruben’s question: How do animals make poison?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Death Camas plant.

In Battle of the Sciences, we explore the hidden code of life with chronobiologist Dr. Timothy Hearn from the University of Cambridge.
