<h2>00:46 A long-term record of climate in the tropics</h2><p>To understand the history of the Earth’s climate, researchers often rely on things like ice cores, which contain layered frozen insights of thousands of years of history. However, in the tropics long-term records like these have been absent. Now researchers have uncovered a sediment core in Peru which reveals around 700,000 years of climatic history.</p><p><em>Research Article: </em><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04873-0?utm_source=naturepod&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=shownotes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Rodbell et al.</em></a></p><p><em>News and Views: </em><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01841-6?utm_source=naturepod&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=shownotes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Sediment study finds the pulse of tropical glaciers</em></a></p><h2></h2><h2>09:40 Research Highlights</h2><p>The biological ‘helmets’ that protect shrimp from themselves, and why the colour of wine bottles matters.</p><p><em>Research Highlight: </em><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01832-7?utm_source=naturepod&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=shownotes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>‘Helmets’ shield shrimp from their own supersonic shock waves</em></a></p><p><em>Research Highlight: </em><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01849-y?utm_source=naturepod&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=shownotes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Why white wine in plain-glass bottles loses its bouquet</em></a></p><h2></h2><h2>12:38 The James Webb Space Telescope reveals its first images</h2><p>After more than two decades of development, the James Webb Space Telescope has broadcast its first images in spectacular detail.
