Typographer and illustrator Craig Ward heard an urban legend that "using the handrails on the subway is like shaking hands with 100 people." He decided to test that theory by sampling the bacteria on subway lines around New York City and photographing his findings. The results were striking and unconventional "portraits" of NYC commuters.

We all know that squids use ink to disguise themselves while making a quick getaway, but what other uses might ink serve? Stephanie "Stephalopod" Bush, a scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), suggests that these crafty cephalopods might use ink to attract a mate, repel a predator, or even confuse their prey.

The guests at the WorMotel check in with a plop. Each guest has a private room, cozy and controlled temperatures, and enough food to last a lifetime. There’s just one catch: They can never leave. Featuring a silicone plate with an array of 240 wells that host tiny nematodes, the WorMotel is the creation of researchers in the Fang-Yen Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. Researchers to study thousands of the worms at a time in the hopes of revealing which of their 20,000 genes control aging.

For USGS wildlife biologist Karyn Rode, tracking and tranquilizing polar bears from a helicopter are just the first thrilling steps in her research. After acquiring various samples from sleeping bears, Dr. Rode's unique understanding of what they eat and how quickly they metabolize nutrients allows her to determine the condition of each bear. Working with a team of scientists from the US Fish and Wildlife Service for nearly a decade, Dr. Rode's monitoring of polar bear health has helped reveal how well populations are adapting to the rapidly warming Arctic.

We expect that our clothing won't tear or fade after one wearing and its dyes won't bleed in the wash. But confidence in our clothing shouldn't be taken for granted. It owes much to an oft-overlooked field of study - textile quality assurance. Professor Sean Cormier of the Fashion Institute of Technology details the rigorous yet fun tests that ensure your clothing doesn't just match your aesthetic standards - but meets a universal criteria for durability, color-fastness, construction and safety.

Twice a year, the sunset lines up with New York City's street grid -- making for spectacular views. Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, identified the cosmic event over a decade ago and coined it Manhattanhenge. In this video from 2009, we watched the sun from 42nd Street, along with about 50 other astronomical enthusiasts.

MC Frontalot, aka Damian Hess, makes a living rapping about data encryption, rare diseases, video games and the nerd life. When we stopped by his Brooklyn apartment, Frontalot described Nerdcore, his name for the genre, as "the inversion of the shame of geekery... into pride." Dr. Awkward, a California-based nerdcore rapper, says that people assume nerd rap is a joke: "But it's not really about the juxtaposition of those two worlds -- nerdiness and hip-hop -- it just happens to be nerds expressing themselves through hip-hop."

Ask a child with an imaginary companion if their pretend friend is real, and often they'll tell you, "I just made them up!" Of course, moments later they'll regale you with stories of the latest adventures with their companion with the utmost conviction. In the second episode of The Real Guide to Imaginary Companions, a trip into the lab of developmental psychologist Jaqueline Woolley reveals how children can become so enamored of their pretend friends that they blur the lines between reality and fantasy. Woolley also investigates whether a child's orientation toward fantasy play has ties to real-world creativity.

Creating the scintillating scents and sensations of a perfume presents a lesson in molecular chemistry and craftwork. With the help of the Institute of Art and Olfaction, we'll take you on tour of how perfumes are made and how they can be creatively scattered for artistic means.

Scientists are experimenting with pumping CO2 deep beneath the sea floor. See the borehole where they practice.

A hawk moth (Manduca sexta) feeds by hovering in front of flowers and slurping nectar through a proboscis, basically a body-length straw. To understand how these moths keep such a precise position in the air, Tyson Hedrick, a biomechanist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, tried destabilizing moths in a variety of different ways and tracked their responses using high speed cameras.

Behold lighting bugs of a different color! SciFri listener Chris Lavin stumbled upon fluorescing blue millipedes during an evening stroll near her home in Canyon, California and sent along video documentation. Glowing-millipede specialist Paul Marek, an entomologist at the University of Arizona, identified the millipedes, and explained what's known about their mysterious glow.

Letra:
Me viste nacer, me viste llorar, me viste reír y también jugar
cuando estoy triste tu cuidas de mi
y cuando te vas
te empiezo a extrañar

y espero verte regresar
corro a tus brazos
cierro los ojos
te veo feliz Mamá

siempre en mis sueños estas
no hay mujer
mas linda
mamita querida te quiero abrazar

sentirte cerquita de mi
mirarte a los ojos
que tanto me miran a mi

veo tu amor
en cada rincón
tengo tu luz
en mi corazón cada momento

que paso contigo
me siento feliz
con esta canción
yo te quiero decir, mamita querida te amo con el corazón

Letra:
//Un hombre bajito era Zaqueo un hombre bajito así…
Se subió a un árbol para ver a Cristo que pasaba por allí
Cuando cristo vino cerca de el, mirando arriba así…
Le dijo: zaqueo, bájate, apúrate
Por que voy a tu casa contigo//
