Some are euthanized to complete the research, others switch to new research projects, and some retire from lab life. Should they retire in place\u2014in the same lab under the care of the same custodians\u2014or should they be sent to retirement home\u2013like sanctuaries? Online News Editor David Grimm joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss recently penned legislation that [pushes for monkey retirements-linkTK] and a new collaboration between universities and sanctuaries to create a retirement pipeline for these primates.   And Sarah also talks with Dante Lauretta, principal investigator for NASA\u2019s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) and a professor at the University of Arizona in Tucson, about the latest news from the asteroid Bennu. Within 1 week of beginning its orbit of the asteroid, OSIRIS-REx was able to send back surprising images of the asteroid ejecting material. It\u2019s extremely rocky surface also took researchers by surprise and forced a recalculation of the sample return portion of the craft\u2019s mission.   This week\u2019s episode was edited by Podigy.   Ads on this week\u2019s show: McDonalds; Parcast\u2019s Natural Disasters podcast; KiwiCo   Listen to previous podcasts.   About the Science Podcast      ++   [Image: NASA\/Goddard\/University of Arizona\/Lockheed Martin; Music: Jeffrey Cook]   Authors: Sarah Crespi; David Grimm ","author_name":"Science Magazine Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.sciencemag.org","html":"
