Amsterdam is home to the first underwater bike parking in the world. It's open 24/7, can house 7,000 bikes and 700 rental bikes and has a shop for maintenance and repair. Construction costs were around 60 million euros. That's cheap compared to the annual savings on healthcare costs from cycling!

Emily sat down with Science Friday to talk about how we can coexist with beavers, plus she shared some fun beaver facts and what it was like working on “Hoppers.” Listen to the full episode now: www.sciencefriday.com/segments/bea...

Beavers are nature’s chaotic engineers! By building dams and creating wetlands, they help filter pollution, create wildlife habitats, and protect against wildfires. Ecohydrologist Emily Fairfax studies how beavers reshape ecosystems. Plus, she was a science consultant on Pixar’s “Hoppers”.
