Listen on\\xa0Apple Podcasts,\\xa0Spotify, or\\xa0wherever you get your podcasts.\\n\\n\\xa0\\nThe Oceans Are Getting Hotter\\u2014And Greener\\nIt\\u2019s hot out there, and more so than normal July weather. It\\u2019s estimated that more than 100 million Americans are under heat watches, warnings, and advisories, spanning the west coast and southern states. Not only is the land hot, but the oceans are, too. The water temperature near the Florida Keys this week reached 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit, just shy of the record for global ocean temperature.\\nA warmer climate is having some visual effects on our oceans, too. The color of the ocean surface near the equator has gotten greener. The culprit? Phytoplankton, which are full of the pigment chlorophyll.\\nJoining Ira to talk about these stories and other science news of the week is Rachel Feltman, Editor at Large for Popular Science and host of the podcast \\u201cThe Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week,\\u201d based in Jersey City, New Jersey.\\n\\n\\xa0\\nUnderstanding The Reasons For The Mental Health Crisis In Youth\\nYou\\u2019ve probably read the headlines about a spike in youth suicide rates, or about how social media and screen time are exacerbating teen anxiety and depression. Or maybe you read about the shortage of services for kids who need mental health treatment, waiting in emergency rooms for inpatient beds to open up.\\nAnd of course the pandemic accelerated all of these issues, leaving kids who might have been already struggling without the support of friends and teachers in their school communities.\\nIra takes a closer look at what\\u2019s driving these trends with Dr. Patricia Ibeziako, associate chief for clinical services in the department of psychiatry and behavioral services at the Boston Children\\u2019s Hospital and associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Dr. Tami Benton, psychiatrist-in-chief in the department of child and adolescent psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Children\\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia and professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania\\u2019s Perelman School of Medicine.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nRewriting Sharks\\u2019 Big, Bad Reputation\\u2026 For Kids\\nIt\\u2019s that time of year when sharks are on our minds. Summer is filled with Shark Week content, viral reports of attacks, and shrieks on the beach when someone spots a fin in the water\\u2026 from a dolphin.\\nBut sharks don\\u2019t deserve this bad reputation. They are beautiful, fascinating, and\\u2014more than anything\\u2014the Earth needs them. A new children\\u2019s book called \\u201cMother of Sharks,\\u201d by Melissa Cristina M\\xe1rquez, aims to teach kids exactly that.\\nIra talks with M\\xe1rquez, a shark scientist and wildlife educator, about the book, shark conservation, and why she loves sharks so much.\\n\\n\\xa0\\nTo stay updated on all-things-science,\\xa0sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.\\nTranscripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on\\xa0sciencefriday.com."
