SnotBot! The Real Whale Snot Drone & How Scientists Study Whales

What if collecting whale snot could help save the ocean?

In this wildly funny and science-packed episode, Mindy, Guy Raz, and Dennis discover that SnotBot—a real-life drone used by scientists—isn’t just a video game… it’s real technology used to study whales in the wild!

Join the adventure as we explore:

- How scientists use drones to collect whale snot (blow)

- What whale mucus can reveal about health, DNA, pregnancy, and gut microbes

- Why drones are safer and less disruptive than boats and airplanes

- How ocean research helps protect whales after environmental disasters

Plus: video game chaos, ocean detective missions, and one VERY important question… how do you catch snot mid-air?!

It’s the Who, What, When, Where, How, Wow, and WOW of whale snot at drone technology!
