Dr Karl and Dr Alice put their heads together to discuss the latest research into well\u2026 all sorts of stuff! What do hairy leaves have to do with burning plants? Is Dr Karl\u2019s fruit and veggie classification (serve it with ice-cream it\u2019s a fruit, with gravy it\u2019s a vegetable) scientifically accurate? And what exactly do killer kangaroos have to do with being unable to sleep in an unfamiliar bed? Listen up as the Doctors tackle these questions and more. And, if you talk to dogs (like Dr Alice does) there\u2019s an experiment you might just want to try.
