Science News: More Wormhole Craze. Cannabis No Better Than Placebo To Treat Pain. & More

Correction to what I say at 7 mins 9 seconds: The first study I mention is about cannabidiol oil.

Today we’ll talk about zink batteries, regulations for StarLink satellites, find out how birds feel about fireworks, learn about a new way to detect sugars, thirty thousand molecules that could make better batteries, and more efficient photosynthesis. I’ll also briefly have to comment on wormholes, again. And of course, the telephone will ring.
