Why Redheads Have Secret Powers

Victoria is back with us this week and she kicks things off with a doozy of a story about a species of bark lice that has undergone a complete swapping of genitals between males and females. It's a very cool story but has frank discussions of reproductive parts so parents feel free to decide if you're ready for those discussions with your young ones.

Kirk is up next with a story about Redheads! Sure, we all know some strange redheads but did you know they may have super powers? New studies show that being a redhead may protect you in an unusual way.

Rachel rounds out this week's show with JuMBOs, Jupiter Mass Binary Objects. This mysterious new class of objects in space have researchers further refining what we thought was possible.
