Today on In The NoCo, we hear from the man who identified it – and learn how he has discovered dozens of other cave-dwelling creatures. It’s part of In The NoCo’s year-end review of our favorite science stories.

And because they were designed to never break down, it’s nearly impossible to get rid of them. But researchers from Colorado State University and CU Boulder have found a promising new method to break them down safely – using light. We’ll hear more on today’s In The NoCo.

The procedure is just a goal for now. Today on ITN, the lead researcher explains how she hopes to make it reality.
