Let's All Get Old Gracefully Kicking And Screaming
Science is getting closer and closer to solving those many pesky problems involved with aging. You know, like gray hair and sickness. For some reason all that health news dropped this week.
We talked about the 10 year debate that has been the MMR vaccine, and the recent related legal victory for the scientific method. Then we got into a recent flu vaccine discovery, and some talk of naked mole rats and gray hair. This Week in The End of The World made a good showing this week with lots of people making efforts to save humanity. Finally, we ended on a super-collider sized competition to find God and a giant gamma ray burst in space.
Music on this week's show is thanks to Johnny Brickhouse, The National Pool, Flying Fish Sailors, and The Four Eyes.
Listen to it all here.
Next week, we will return with more science news...
