This week you’ll hear our discussion with Robin Andrews, a vulcanologist and science journalist extraordinaire.
Robin, being an avid volcano aficionado, rushed us through a number of topics:
– Which are the most badass volcanoes on Earth?
– What do volcanoes look like on other planets?
– What’s the only case of a person surviving after falling in a volcano?
– How do we know if a volcano is “due to erupt” and why a real scientist would never use that phrase?
We’ve also learned how new technologies help us save people from volcanoes in a weird real-life drone-enabled version of Frogger. Even if you already knew there’s no big difference between lava and magma, you’ll still learn something new. Check it out!
