What makes dolphins so smart?

Guests

dolphins intelligence brains sea creatures science

Dolphins are super cool sea creatures that can swim fast, jump high, and make all kinds of nifty noises. But did you know that they also have big complicated brains like humans do? How did they get those big brains, and what do they use them for? We asked science writer Vicky Stein to help us find the answer.

Being asleep is kind of a funny thing, because you dont know if youre doing anything in your sleep because youre asleep! Some people talk in their sleep, others get out of bed and walk around but do we ever sneeze in our sleep? We asked neurologist Michael Hall if it was even possible.

Do lizards smell with their tongues?

Guests

Keywords
lizards smell sense of smell research Laura Kojima

The sense of smell is so powerful. Without it, we couldnt sniff out freshly-baked muffins, stinky garbage, or smoky campfires. Some animals use their noses, others use antennae or even their feet to smell. But what about lizards? They have nostrils, but do they use them to smell? We asked lizard researcher Laura Kojima to help us answer this question.

Do we have our own gravity?

Keywords
gravity force planets moons stars small objects

You might have heard of gravity as the force that keeps us firmly on the ground and not floating off the planet. Big things (like planets, moons, and stars) have gravity that pulls other objects toward them. But what about smaller things? Like us? Do we have our own gravity?


If theres a question pulling at you like a powerful force, we can help with that! Submit your Moment of Um question at BrainsOn.org/contact and well find the answer.

beans gas pediatrician Wendy Hunter

Beans are delicious. From edamame to lentils, there’s a bean for everyone! But they can also make us a little tooty. Why is that? We asked pediatrician Wendy Hunter to help us find the answer.


Got a question that’s a real gas? Send it to us at BrainsOn.org/contact and we’ll rip a good one (answer, that is)!
