Pikas, Planets and Panic Attacks – FULL EPISODE | S6

Join Miranda Cosgrove for a packed episode of Mission Unstoppable that connects mountain peaks, deep space, brain science, and engineering. In Eastern Utah’s La Sal Mountains (≈11,000 ft), ecologist Dr. Johanna Varner studies pikas, adorable, high-elevation indicator species whose survival offers clues about climate change and ecosystem health. Then astrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier breaks down how scientists discover exoplanets using direct imaging with a coronagraph, transit photometry (light curves), and radial velocity (red/blue Doppler shifts) revealing a universe full of diverse worlds beyond our solar system. Next, Dr. Brain (Dr. Crystal Dilworth) explains the neuroscience of anxiety from an overactive amygdala and fight-or-flight loops to practical resets like reframing and social support. Finally, mechanical engineer Dr. Ashlie Martini and grad researcher Monica Ferrera at the University of California, Merced explore tribology friction, wear, and lubrication using shoes, a lubricity tester, and a tribometer (with applications from Mars 2020 rover parts to crisp vs. mealy apples). From wildlife biology and space exploration to mental wellness and precision engineering, this episode spotlights real-world STEM that’s as useful as it is unforgettable. #MissionUnstoppable #MirandaCosgrove #WomenInSTEM #STEMEducation An ecologist introduces us to an adorable animal called the Pika.
