Summary

Welcome to Science Quest! 🚀 This week, we are kicking off a massive celebration for Insect Week, hunting down new dinosaur relatives, and tearing open the fabric of space and time to ask if we are living in a multiverse.

🐢 The Flat-Pack Hatchling: Keepers are celebrating the arrival of a newly hatched, critically endangered baby pancake tortoise! Discover why this rare reptile’s flat, flexible shell makes it the ultimate rock-climbing escape artist.
🦖 A New Predator Rises: Paleontologists have just uncovered a brand-new, razor-clawed cousin of the fierce Velociraptor family! Find out where this ancient hunter lived and how it used its terrifying speed to track down prey.
🐜 The Insect Overlords: Fran Sconce from the Royal Entomological Society joins Dan to preview Insect Week! We are shining a spotlight on the absolutely vital, hidden jobs that bugs do every single day to keep our entire planet running.
🌋 The Magma Blast: Evan wants to know: why do volcanoes erupt? We dig deep down into the Earth’s crust to look at how trapped tectonic gases and boiling hot liquid rock build up the pressure for a massive explosion.
🌌 The Multiverse Mystery: Carlos Frenk from Durham University tackles Jude's mind-bending question: is there another universe out there? Get ready to explore the wild physics behind parallel worlds!
🦅 Dangerous Dan: Watch out for the Seriema Bird! Don't let its long legs fool you—this modern-day dinosaur is a vicious snake-hunter that kills its prey by picking it up and ruthlessly smashing it against rocks.
🧠 Brain Box: Professor Susannah Maidment, Merit Researcher in Fossil Reptiles at the Natural History Museum, steps into the Brain Box to show us exactly what the prehistoric world looked like when dinosaurs ruled the Earth!

And jump straight through a wormhole to Deep Space High—your local inter-galactic school in space! Join Principal Pulsar and his class as they discover how exploring the cosmos actually changes your everyday life on Earth. From the scratch-resistant lenses in your glasses to the cameras in your smartphone, find out about all the awesome, everyday gadgets that wouldn’t even exist if it wasn’t for rocket scientists and space travel!

Subscribe to Science Quest to hunt down new raptors, survive erupting volcanoes, and master the mind-bending secrets of the multiverse! 🎙️✨
