It’s pretty cool that archaeologist Darius Arya traveled to Pompeii to film his answers for our latest Ask an Expert Anything! My favorite question he answers? “Did people go back to Pompeii and try to dig it out once things cooled off?” Readers also loved our examination of the science around when exercise becomes damaging to your body, the latest Stones & Bones on a raptor found in the snow, and Winnie-the-Pooh’s trail in the real Hundred Acre Wood. Enjoy!
