Two, Two, Two Shows in One Post
Alright, I've been busy, but that is no excuse to leave you all without links. So, I'll start with the most recent show and work backwards through time. (Yay! Mental time travel!)
This week's top story dealt with fertility and reproduction, and the possibility that females might not be stuck with a set number of eggs for their entire lives. Justin followed up with a tale of cloudy corneas made clear with stem cells. Then we moved on to life and its wily ways. Dating and meat became a conversation topic. The Hobbitses came back for a spell. Do baby sheep dream of androids? Viruses were tied to mass extinctions and evolution. And, we railed against the educational system with a little bit of data.
Listen to it all here.
The second week of April Dr. Kiki was off to Boulder, CO, and talked a bit about the Conference on World Affairs. Then World Robot Domination led the news. Justin talked about something in a completely different vein. Then it was all birds and beers. We moved on to teeth and pregnancy, new hearts, and Justin's got some nerve. Then viruses prove their usefulness. Titan is weirder than we thought. Jupiter's spot is shrinking. And, oops, Antarctica's glaciers are shrinking faster than previously thought.
Listen to it all here.
