We devote the entire show to Hilary's first love (no, not Edward T) - SCIENCE! That's right, an expanded Science Minute,

just for you!

Hilary delves into the study of animal science and the connection to human sciences. She tells about science models, which of course spins Edward T off into talking about fashion models, most especially Tyra Banks.

We also discuss P.E.T.A. and their concerns regarding animal research and how this affects scientists such as Hilary. Edward T shares a personal story that explains why the fine folks of P.E.T.A. are less than stellar, in his opinion.

Hilary has provided a PowerPoint slideshow and some links for your pleasure:
