Episode 22: Purple Earth and plants' war for the rainbow, white rice; brown benefits, smells like Teen 13+, and an attack on titan




Interronauts show

Summary: Jesse sets off on a solo venture through the overgrown and tangled world of science news this Interronauts, beginning at the beginning with early Earth perhaps implanted with purple, not chlorophyll green, pigment, before heading undersea with two new species of very small jellyfish discovered by CSIRO researchers, bushbashing in the crops, the cropage, with our and the Chinese Academy of Sciences' work blending the benefits of brown rice with the pale ease of white rice, trekking through the clonal trunks, the forest of one known as Pando to get to the base of its stunted growth, and finally wrapping up in the cool slightly sour-atmosphere of a packed cinema, finding out how our smells might reveal movies' classification.
