How Do We Figure Out The Sex ... Of A Fossil?

We know a lot about fossils, but there's one thing about all those long-dead organisms that's hard to figure out -- their sex. So let's talk about the ways we can try to determine whether those T. rex bones came from a male or a female, and why figuring it out is so interesting! Correction: 02:23 While female peafowl are more drab than males, the bird pictured here is an entirely different species: a helmeted guineafowl.

Why Isn't Mount Denali a Volcano?

Alaska has the most volcanoes out of all the US states, but researchers think they don't have enough. Here's the weird science behind looking for Alaska's volcanoes, and what we've learned about volcanism along the way.
