Learn about scientists who have discovered that rats enjoy being tickled and this relates to play behavior, observed in many species from birds to reptiles. Hear about how sheep are being used to protect the ruins of Pompeii, and how the elders from the Ho Chunk Nation are preserving their endangered language through audio recordings. Also, meet Barbara Lakin, a former fashion designer who bestows repaired Barbie dolls to migrant children. Lastly, we cover a unique contest in Montenegro that challenges participants to break the record for lying down!
