The Inventor vs. the Spotted Lanternfly
The Spotted Lanternfly has invaded Pennsylvania, and it's kicking bark and taking names. So far its only natural predators are humans who enjoy squishing bugs, and we're losing. But there might be some hope for the humans -- a secret weapon named Rachel Bergey. She's 14, she's an inventor, and she's on a mission to save the trees and kill the lanternflies. Jim Melwert (@JMelwert) joins the podcast to talk about the coolest science fair project we've ever heard of. Check out his article about Rachel on kywnewsradio.com. Scroll Down is produced by Tom Rickert (@teerick) in the KYW Studios in Philadelphia. You can follow the show on Twitter: @ScrollDownPod. Find us wherever you get your podcasts, and subscribe!
