“What we’re seeing in terms of social movements is just that with Twitter, and the Internet, and social media we have so much more power to share information like this, and to really create change.

This week on Living Lab Radio:
- Nature senior reporter Heidi Ledford explains the bubbles at the center of the Milky Way, researchers’ responses to a new EPA policy limiting animal research, and other science headlines.
- Eric Kort of Univeristy of Michigan explains why a new estimate of methane leaks in the northeast is both bad and good news. We may be emitting twice as much as the government’s official inventories indicate, but fixing leaks is a win-win.
