Outside/Inbox: Are there any real-life zombies? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every other week, the Outside/In team at NHPR answers a listener's question about science and the natural world. This week's question comes from Amelia on Instagram. This transcript has been lightly edited for clarity. Nate Hegyi: I have seen a zombie. It was fall and I was fishing in southeast Alaska.

Outside/In: Scientists spoke up against a de-extinction company. Then the smears began. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When evolutionary biologist Vincent Lynch heard the news that a $10 billion biotech company had brought the once extinct direwolf back to life, he called foul. He took to the media to argue that these overhyped headlines threaten public trust in science. And that's when things started to get weird.

Outside/Inbox: Is leaving pizza out overnight risky? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every other Friday, the Outside/In team answers a listener question about science and the natural world. This week's question comes from Anthony. “I have a long running debate with my wife. We have 18-year-old twin boys and sometimes we leave pizza out on the counter. She's convinced it's bad for your health. I don't think so! Is pizza left overnight on the counter bad for you? This has been lightly edited for clarity. Nate Hegyi: One night when I was about 12 years old, we went to my Auntie Jen
