Ah, you know, given that fiber has become such a wellness trend with everybody fiber-maxing, I'll be very interested to hear about this one.

Let's do that.

The more fiber for the world, the better.

Ah, and what's it defending itself against?

I assume some pest or some blight or something?

Interesting.

The cut grass smelling a specific way reminds me of flowers smelling sweet because they're trying to attract bees.

It's like calling in the drones.

All right.

You also mentioned for your second topic, new ways to speed up learning in mice.

Tell us about that one.

I really want to know what the rewards were.

I'm thinking about cheese or peanut butter we put in a mousetrap.

What did they use as rewards for these mice?

And what sort of things were the mice trying to learn?

So I'm interested in this idea that a bigger amount of reward given less frequently resulted in faster learning rather than smaller, more frequent rewards.

Tell us more about why that worked better.

Since this is just a mouse study, what does it tell us potentially about human learning?

All right.

So topic three, we move on to another type of pest in some people's eyes, and that is how our strongest mosquito repellent may have a weakness we didn't know about before.
