Today on the show: the plight of Uyghurs in China, new worker safety rules for climate change and gardening in space.

We’re keeping with our What’d We Miss Monday theme and tackling a bunch of the biggest stories that crossed our desks this weekend. There’s the delta variant of COVID-19, the plight of Uyghurs in China and potential new worker safety regulations in the face of climate change. But if that all sounds like too much of a bummer, we have a fun story about gardening in space and an answer to a thorny question from last summer.

Here’s everything we talked about today:
