Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania This summer, scientists on Devon Island in the Arctic will test out a new robot, one that is designed with the ultimate goal of operating in another harsh environment--Mars. The robot is just one of the many projects planned for this summer at the Haughton Mars Research Station, a NASA-operated program that aims to shed light on the geology and biology of Mars. This hour, we'll talk with two of the project's scientists about their summer plans. Plus, a new feathered dinosaur goes on display at the American Museum of Natural History.
