Season 100 Episode 105 | 26m 47sVideo has Closed Captions

Stories from North Carolina and beyond to keep your inner science geek happy!

This week, we dive into the toilet and how providing toilets to parts of the developing world can solve health problems. We follow medicines flushed down the toilet all the way downstream to the sea. See what happens to the river and ocean life on the way. We look at potentially dangerous things swimming in the ocean — no they're not sharks! Finally watch an effort to preserve abalone snails!
