If you ever needed to be reminded about the interconnectedness of the planet, just look to the story of travelling dust. Minuscule yet so important in sustaining life on planet earth.

This episode of Awe Struck features interviews with Children's author Martha Brockenbrough about her book A Gift of Dust, and University of Tasmania researcher Jake Weis.
