Science and the Sea – Wandering Turtles
Survival is all about change. Species that can adapt to changing conditions will live on, while those that can’t are doomed. That’s why a study released a couple of years ago may be good news for olive ridley sea turtles in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The study showed that the turtles go with the flow — they aren’t stuck in rigid patterns. In a world where the climate is changing in a hurry, that could help ensure the turtles’ survival.
Science and the Sea airs every weekday at 10:30 am, 2:30 pm, and weekends at 11:30 am.
“Oh, Boy!” was released in 1957 by Brunswick Records, the A-side to “Not Fade Away.” Those barbershop harmonies on this and eight other Buddy Holly tracks were supplied by The Picks: a Lubbock, Texas-based trio made up of brothers John and Bill Pick-ering and friend, Bob Lapham. But they didn’t get any official credit until the 1987 CD liner notes. Buddy appreciated them, though. In a 2010, interview John Pickering recalled driving with the Picks on a busy Lubbock, Texas street in 1957 when Holly stopped traffic to thank them for their work.
SoundBeat airs every weekday at 11:30 am and 1:30pm.
