Sinopse

Real estate reporter Jordan Pandy explains how homebuyers have another thing to worry about: 'housefishing'. The world's foremost raccoon scientist – according to David, anyway – animal behavior and cognition researcher Hannah Griebling shares details of her research showing that trash pandas solve puzzles for the fun of it. Hannah then answers David's rapid-fire raccoon questions. Psychology professor James Coan reveals why being nice matters in a complex world. Developmental psychology professor Dr. Dieter Wolke outlines the clash psychologists have over the 'cry it out' parenting strategy. On Vet Talk or Pet Talk (we're unclear on the segment's exact name), veterinarian Dr. Cliff Redford covers animal related stories: Golden Retriever genes linked to anxiety, aggression, and intelligence in humans; Why mammals aren't as colorful as reptiles, birds or fish; and Invasive crab adapts to almost any environment and competes with local fauna as if the river were its own. (Remember kids: eat your invertebrates.)
