In this News Bite edition, Jeff and Danielle discuss:
- Monogamous prairie voles - Happy Valentine's day!
- How freezing hibernating frogs might one day save humanity
- A discussion about the FDA Modernization Act
- February is American Heart Awareness month, so of course we talk about new research to repair scar tissue in the heart
