Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Science of Nightmares
Q: What's a night terror?
Night terrors occur outside REM sleep, often early in the night. They may involve waking with a feeling of stress but little visual dream content, and children may quickly return to sleep without remembering the event.
The Science of Nightmares
Q: Why do we remember dreams more than nightmares?
On average, adults may remember nightmares more because their negative emotions help memories persist. Researchers have not established whether the same pattern applies to children, and individual experiences vary.
Fact or Fiction: Sloths (Featuring the Story Pirates)
Q: How would you study an animal that's incredibly good at camouflaging itself?
Rebecca Cliff used a backpack harness with a data logger and pressure sensors to record a sloth's activity even when she could not see it.
Fact or Fiction: Sloths (Featuring the Story Pirates)
Q: Why are sloths so slow?
Sloths digest food slowly and get little energy from it, so they cannot rely on running away from predators. Their slow movements conserve energy, while camouflage and stillness help them avoid being seen.
Mailbag: What Happens When Galaxies Crash?
Q: What would happen if Andromeda collided with the Milky Way?
Andromeda is heading toward us and will collide with the Milky Way in about four billion years; the collision will distort galaxy shapes (galaxy merger) but very few stars would collide, and the Earth is unlikely to be affected much.
