You may have heard of Down syndrome, but what is it exactly? In this episode, we’ll break down the science of chromosomes and how having an extra one leads to this fairly common condition. Plus, we’ll learn some tips for making friends with someone who might seem different than you. We’ll also swing by a farm staffed by ranchers with Down syndrome. And in our Moment of Um we’ll find out why eggs go from clear to white when cooked.
