And, Scripps Institution of Oceanography is planning to deploy 500 new robotic floats to study what’s going on underneath the waves as the planet warms. Then, if you’re cooking a Thanksgiving meal for the first time because of the pandemic, we have some tips for you. Finally, if you ask people in the city of Mexicali, Mexico, about their most notable regional cuisine, they won’t say street tacos or mole. They’ll say Chinese food. Editor’s note: During the Thanksgiving dinner at home interview that appears in this podcast our guest said that defrosted cooked turkey bones are poisonous. According to the US Department of Agriculture, It is true that undercooking a turkey can lead to serious food-borne illness, as can leaving leftovers out too long. But we can find no source stating frozen turkey bones, if cooked properly, are poisonous. If you have questions about food safety for your Thanksgiving dinner, call the USDA Meat and Poultry hotline at 888-674-6854. We regret the error.
