In our second installment of Regional Roundup, we check in with Daniel Wattenburger, managing editor of the East Oregonian, and senior reporter Kathy Aney, to hear about the stories they're following.

We talk to an Ashland-based science writer Virginia Morell about how we know or don't know what animals are feeling. Morell is featured in the NATURE program "Animal Reunions" which will air on March 30
