This week we’re finding out whether our morning espresso is safe from climate change, getting acquainted with a droopy creature that enjoys a cold bath, being dazzled by some high-tech paint, hearing about Geronimo the hero beaver, asking what monkeys can tell us about making friends after the pandemic, and trying not to yawn along with a pride of lions.

If you find some fun science that you think deserves its place on the show, we'd love to hear from you! Get in touch with us at lockdownsciencepodcast@gmail.com and follow us on @LockdownScience on Twitter and @LockdownSciencePodcast on Instagram.
