May the fourth be with you! Today, Summers and Kristy get personal while talking about reproductive rights and access to women’s healthcare. They then commend Connecticut lawmakers, who are reacting to the surge of anti-abortion legislation with a bill that expands the kinds of medical practitioners who can offer abortion services within the state.

They also talk about an ancient enzyme that can help address food production concerns around the world.
