Presidential rhetoric, penguins on planes, and the secret life of bees

Here's a round up of what our producers are reading, watching, and longing for.

Emily Kaiser: Cats and dolphins can't taste sweets. That's crazy. And here are some penguins flying first class.

Alex DiPalma: Surprising look at the power of presidential rhetoric, and how little it actually matters.

Meggan Ellingboe: Martha Graham opens its season at the Joyce. Wish I could be in New York for all the good dance going on right now.

Madelyn Mahon: After Thursday's discussion with Jason Castro about bees and the brain, I went back and read through some of his older Scientific American articles. This one on bees experiencing moods was fascinating!
