Joe Johnson is a former Port Jervis Science teacher and Radio Catskill volunteer who shares science stories that have caught his eye recently.
He reports on ants can perform life-saving emergency surgery on each other and the four volunteers who spent more than a year living in a 1,700-square-foot space created by NASA to simulate the environment on Mars have emerged.
He spoke with Jason Dole.
