Science Friday salutes a great science teacher. "Office hours are some of my favorite hours of the week," says professor Tom Carlson, a medical doctor, ethnobotanist and instructor of 1700 students annually at the University of California, Berkeley. One of Carlson's former students, SciFri associate senior producer Christopher Intagliata, told us that Carlson's class was the reason he got into science.

For honey bees, making is a new queens is a simple as adding royal jelly, a unique protein rich secretion, to the cell of a growing larvae. This fairly well studied addition causes a cascade of physiological changes in the growing larvae and voila! A queen is born. However, what causes a baby bumblebee (the fuzzier and more weather-hardy cousins to honey bees) to become royalty remains a mystery. They don’t produce royal jelly but they produce a unique barf for their young. Enter entomologist Hollis Woodard and her students at UC Riverside who hope that by understanding how queens are created, they can mitigate on-going extinction crises in bumblebees species. Woodard and company begin by heading up to San Bernardino mountains outside Los Angeles. Here, the researchers collect emerging queens as they buzz around the blooming Manzanita shrubs. These queens are brought back to the lab, where the establish their own (see through) honeypots. Lavished with food by the lab members, the queens lay dozens of larvae which become daughter drones. These drones are then “milked” for their barf which is analyzed for its chemical properties. Future larvae are hand fed the analyzed barf in various quantities and intervals to determine what factors lead to the generation of queen bees.

In perhaps the cutest study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, psychologist Marcel Zentner and Tuomas Eerola found that babies will spontaneously boogie when they hear music and other rhythmic sounds. The findings suggest babies are not great dancers, but they smile more when they do hit the beat.

From 2011: Using the Swedish Solar Telescope, a ground-based observatory, Goran Scharmer and colleagues probe the penumbra--that's the stringy structure around the perimeter of the dark part of the sunspot. The images give scientists new insight into how that structure forms.

An elephant shrew is neither an elephant nor a shrew and has a manatee for a close relative. It's more like a mix between a miniature antelope and anteater. Researchers recently discovered a new species of elephant-shrew in Tanzania
In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick pieced together the structure of DNA — the now-famous double helix. To celebrate the release of a new annotated and illustrated edition of his 1968 book, The Double Helix, James Watson reflects on the groundbreaking discovery. Broadcast Nov. 16, 2012.

The Greater sage-grouse makes its living in sagebrush habitats across the western U.S. and Canada. Every year from late February to May, male sage-grouse perform a striking dance routine each morning at dawn. Jason Robinson, upland game coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, breaks down the dance and describes challenges the birds face.
In honor of #CephalopodWeek, Science Friday's annual celebration of all things tentacled, come join a live panel discussion with real cephalopod and ocean experts from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and E/V Nautilus.
Learn what it's like to study these creatures, both in captivity and in the wild, and why cephalopods are worth studying... and saving. Plus, you'll be able to ask your own questions!
Learn more about #CephalopodWeek at http://cephalopodweek.tumblr.com.
Join Science Friday on Tuesday, April 5, 2016 at 7 p.m. Eastern for a live online web panel to discuss challenges and approaches to teaching climate change science in the classroom. Led by passionate educators who are committed to best practices in climate education, this discussion will highlight innovative strategies for bringing climate data into the classroom, ideas for integrating climate science into existing curricula, and best-in-class resources for teaching climate change. Panelists will field your questions and concerns in real time and will share upcoming opportunities for educators to participate in field-based climate research around the world.

This is the story of two songs and several fine musicians. Lori Lieberman's version of the tale is she saw Don McClean perform his song "Empty Chairs" at The Troubadour in Los Angeles in the early 70s. She was so moved by the song she wrote a poem based on it from which the song "Killing Me Softly" was born. After she related the experience to Norman Gimbel he took her feelings and put them into words. Then, Gimbel passed the words on to Charles Fox, who set them to music. Fox himself, however, has specifically repudiated Lieberman's having input into the song's creation, saying: "We ,Gimbel and Fox, wrote the song and Lieberman heard it and said it reminded her of how she felt at a Don McLean concert. Don McLean didn't inspire Norman Gimbel or I to write the song but even Don McLean thinks he's the inspiration for the song according to his official website!" This much is certain. Lori Lieberman is the first to record "Killing Me Softly". Roberta Flack first heard Lieberman's recording. Flack went on to record it and it became a number one hit. The romantic in me wants to believe Lori.
Lori Lieberman (born November 15, 1951) is an American singer. She was born in California and grew up in Switzerland, and signed a deal with Capitol Records in the early 1970s. Her self-titled debut album featured the tune "Killing Me Softly with His Song", written by composers Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel after Lieberman saw Don McLean in concert, ] Fox and Gimbel developed the tune for Lieberman, and it would go on to be a chart-topping single for Roberta Flack in 1973.
El príncipe feliz es un cuento de hadas escrito por el poeta, escritor y dramaturgo irlandés Oscar Wilde. Fue publicado por primera vez en 1888 en El príncipe feliz y otros cuentos. Fue escrito dos años después de haber nacido el último hijo del autor, Vyvyan Holland. El cuento es una obra educativa moralista, la cual intenta transmitir un mensaje de valores y principios éticos en niños y adultos.
l protagonista de la historia es la estatua dorada de un príncipe llena de valiosos adornos, que se encuentra en lo alto de una columna desde donde puede ver toda la ciudad; y una golondrina, que ha retrasado su migración a Egipto por haberse enamorado de un junco. La golondrina se posa sobre la estatua y ve que el príncipe está llorando a causa de las injusticias que puede observar desde su posición, pues cuando vivía siempre le hicieron creer que todo el mundo era feliz y le habían ocultado que también había gente que tenía problemas, y ahora desde allí arriba podía ver la triste realidad, realidad que es confirmada por la golondrina de la cual se hace gran amigo de ella día a día, pues le ayudara en su misión de ir ayudar a los más necesitados.
