  • No connection to Texas

    I love the vibe of this podcast. The information has almost no bearing on my life. I’m from North Florida and live in NY. Just love to listen.

  • Informative, leveled information

    Factual, informational podcast with reliable, well-sourced news about Texas. Some of the reviews claiming this is leftist are laughable - spoiler alert, it’s not full of lies and clickbait, which I appreciate.

  • Unabashed Leftist Ideology/Propaganda

    OMG! Where to begin? About 30 minutes in it was actually comical the rate at which the relentless leftist talking points and Liberal Democrat Propaganda continued with relentless intensity and no sign of abating. This podcast exemplifies everything Radical Liberals stand for and offers compelling evidence that liberalism really is a mental illness. Too funny!

Texas camps race to meet new safety rules

Texas scientists discover new jellyfish species
Q: What gave you or the PhD candidate a sense that this jellyfish might be different from any of the others that you had seen before?
The combination of location, offshore deep-water habitat, and notably smaller size compared with the usual Moon Jellyfish led us to sequence a gene and confirm the new species identity.
Texas scientists discover new jellyfish species
Q: Great to have you. Before we get too deep into the jellyfish, tell us a little bit about the circumstances under which you found this new species.
The discovery started when my former PhD student found a jellyfish offshore in the Gulf of Mexico that looked slightly different; a DNA analysis then confirmed it as a new species, Aurelia profunda, indicating it lives in deep water and is smaller than other moon jellyfish.
