Fauna Sanctuary is a Canadian “retirement home” and rescue facility for chimpanzees. Primatologist-turned journalist Andrew Westoll realized a dream when he spent several months living at the sanctuary and Sam Litzinger spoke to Westoll about his experiences and the book he wrote as a result, The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary. Following that, Dr. David Mullin, a microbiologist at Tulane University talks about his work developing a new automobile fuel source called butanol, using bacteria found in Zebra droppings.

What a great show today! I especially enjoyed the piece on Dr. Mullin's work, since I just talked about it on www.greenmomster.org (http://www.greenmomster.org/2012/01/so-you-slept-through-science-class-p...)! A topic that deserves lots of press and attention!
