The Curiosity Desk

First up, this Tax Day, we ask: why is it so hard to file my taxes? We’ll talk with Beverly ​Moran, a senior tax fellow at Boston College.

Secondly we'll chat about the helium shortage.. What’s going on? How is helium mined, ​​how is it used (beyond the birthday balloons) and what happens if we do actually run out? We’ll ask Linda Doerrer, an Assistant Professor in Chemistry at B.U.’s college of engineering. 

Lastly, It’s peak pruning season. We’ll open phone and text lines to “Ask a Gardener,” with Wakefield Arboretum Executive Director Debbie Merriam.
