School's out, but many kids—and their parents—are still stuck at home. Let’s keep learning together. Special guest Guy Raz joins Manoush for a show packed with TED science lessons for everyone.

Guy Raz returns to the TED Radio Hour to share ideas from TED speakers that spark curiosity and wonder for listeners of all ages. First, he and Manoush discuss ecologist Suzanne Simard's discovery that trees use underground fungi networks to communicate and share resources.

Manoush and Guy Raz continue listening to space archaeologist Sarah Parcak  who is working to uncover and protect the thousands, perhaps millions, of hidden archaeological sites around the world. Then they ask: How can you internalize gratiude? AJ Jacobs set out to say "Thank you" for a cup of coffee, and ended up on an international journey that taught him the importance of being grateful every day.
