Outside/Inbox: The Ramen Wasp Murders & Other Mysteries
Podcast:Outside/In Published On: Thu Sep 23 2021 Description: We introduce our new mailbag segment: the Outside/Inbox, where we answer your questions about the natural world. This time: Question 1: What are those blue boxes sticking out of East Coast salt marshes? Question 2: A bunch of wasps swarmed into my friend’s bowl of ramen and died. What poisoned the wasps? Question 3: Did life begin on Earth just once? Or could it have happened multiple times during the same period? Question 4: If you ironed out all the mountains in a place like New Hampshire - how much bigger would the surface area of the state be? Do you have a question about the natural world?
