Review of Flying squirrels + treadmills = Science!

Fascinating - FASCINATING! - topic and well-written copy, but this story begs for sound. Listeners don't just want to be told what the squirrels do. I want to be in the laboratory with them -- show, don't tell.
While this story lacks the nat sound that would truly make it a driveway moment, it is a solid 2 minute piece of science journalism that be used as a drop-in with a longer piece to fill out an E segment of Morning Edition or a local news magazine.
