Greg and Dan talk with Renae Kerrigan of the Dome Planetarium at the Peoria Riverfront Museum about the recent lunar eclipse and the museum’s special viewing party, which brought out around 140 guests to experience the celestial event together. She also shares details from her recent research trip to Nome, Alaska, where she joined a team of scientists studying how increased beaver activity is changing Arctic landscapes. She explains how beavers create ponds that can alter surrounding ecosystems, what researchers are learning about those environmental impacts, and why studying these changes is important. She also reflects on her love of teaching all areas of science and how the trip gave her the unique opportunity to become the student herself and learn alongside other scientists.
