The Curiosity Desk

First up - Edgar decodes our paychecks, asking "what exactly happens with all the money taken out each week?” We’ll have some help from Steven Dean, a professor of law at Boston University.  

Then, we'll exploring the world of microplastics research with oceanographic researcher Victoria Fuller, whose work has brought her as close as New England as far as Antarctica.  

Lastly we answer the question...  Is the pollen in our air worse getting worse by the year? Richard Primack, a professor plant ecology at B.U., explains why there might be some truth to that idea. Caroline Sokol is a physician scientist who’ll speak to how pollen impacts us on a physiological level. ​
