Episode LXI: A New Dawn
Chris and Rob talk all about the Zooniverse in this special episode. It’s been a busy week at the Zooniverse and so we have also recruited special guest Brooke Simmons, as a Galaxy Zoo expert. We focus of the backstory of the past ten days of the Zooniverse, which includes the launch of the Andromeda Project and Snapshot Serengeti.

Fish Consumption
Chris and Rob are apart this week, so Rob is alone in Oxford for this very short podcast. There’s a possible new comet out in the Solar System, and Curiosity is about to dip it’s claws into the Martian soil.
