Hey, it's Ira, and you're listening to Science Friday.

Now, here's a question you don't think about every day, but bear with me.

Have you ever wondered what it means for something to be bear resistant? You know, that cooler you take camping or the compost bin in your backyard that promises to keep hungry bears out.

Alex Davies is a journalist and author of co-book The Destroyer and other tales from the wild, unseen world of test engineering.

Alex, welcome to Science Friday.

Hey, Ira.

Thanks for having me.

Thanks for listening.

I'm Ira Flatow.

Happy Ada Lovelace Day, everybody.

I'm Ira Flatow.

Thanks for listening.

We'll catch you tomorrow.
