This week we’re finding out how the moon is powering cars in the Shetlands, asking if cats value kindness, investigating whether a sperm-filled solar-powered lunar ark is viable, wondering whether sleepiness is to blame for a walrus on the Welsh coast, and learning some social skills from a very sneaky beetle.

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.
