Joe Johnson is a retired Port Jervis science teacher and Radio Catskill volunteer and he regularly brings us science stories that have caught his eye. 

This week, Joe brings us good news about Voyager One, the spacecraft from 1977;  bad news for some of the cicadas temporarily overtaking parts of the U.S. who are turning into sex-crazed “zombies,” thanks to a fungus; and the climate shift from El Niño to La Niña.
