Description

🤢 Hold onto your lunch! In this episode, Dr. Owl, Emma, and Ziggy answer a question from Shemuel in the UK about one of the body's grossest (but most important) superpowers. Discover why your stomach is like an "emergency eject" seat, how your brain acts like a security guard, and why reading in the car might confuse your inner detective. It’s a sticky situation, but science is here to explain the mess!
