Have you ever noticed squirrels gliding around your backyard? CJ Wong, a University of New Hampshire graduate student, is spearheading a citizen science effort to build nest boxes in hopes of learning more about these cute little creatures all over our region. CJ joins Nichole to talk about the project, why it's important, and how you can help. For more than 20 years, families on the South Shore have been turning to Friendship Home in Norwell for support, kindness, community and empathy. Friendship Home offers programs, job assistance, and advocacy for those with developmental disabilities and their families. Executive Director Andrea Pyke and Director of Development Heather Dwyer have details about the history of Friendship Home and their work in the community. Annaboto is a Boston-based startup that's making waves in the cannabis growth space, but founder Carl Palme doesn't want to stop there. He wants to use their technology to help in the fight against food insecurity! Carl explains his motivation, the technology, and the future of Annaboto on this week's episode.
