On this show we explore the contentious debate around fluoride in municipal water, the science behind pedigree cat adoptions, and innovative approaches to teaching science to non-science majors.
• Examination of the fluoride controversy using Calgary, Alberta as a case study
• Discussion of how fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and prevents acid damage
• Review of research showing increased tooth decay rates in children after fluoride was removed from Calgary's water
• Analysis of a study suggesting people with higher status sensitivity are less likely to adopt non-pedigree cats
• Interview with Dr. Katie Burnette about cat genetics and why most calico cats are female
• Exploration of X chromosome inactivation and how it creates unique coat patterns
• Insight into developing engaging science curriculum for non-science majors
• Discussion of a DNA-based project identifying fish fraud at restaurants
• Personal pet stories including cats bringing "gifts" into the home
