On today’s Hello Houston, we talk about oil prices surging due to the Iran conflict, with University of Houston energy fellow Ed Hirs, who explains what’s driving the spike in these prices and what this could mean for consumers.

Then, we learn about the Houston area non-profit The Woods Project, with executive director Natalie Hausman-Weiss and program manager Manny Salas, who both explain how the organization creates wilderness exploration experiences for high school students.

In the second hour, Simon Fischer-Baum, an associate professor in Rice University’s Department of Psychological Sciences, tells us about this week’s Brains in Society conference, which brings together neuroscientists and other experts to discuss how advances in brain research are influencing health care, education, technology, and more.

Plus, we also chat with Houston-based chef and restaurateur Jassi Bindra, who tells us all about being a contestant on the new season of Top Chef, as well as the story of his culinary journey, moving from India to the United States at age 30.

And, as always, Celeste and Frank discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including discussing how daylight savings time affects sleep patterns with neurologist Dr. Sudha Tallavajhula and the removal of a Ramadan display at a Houston elementary school after district officials said it violated a "political and religious neutrality" policy.
