    When is Negative A Good Thing?

    Sometimes in science a negative result can be a positive. Negatives are quite helpful in focusing the experimental method on the right question. Justin makes a nice commentary in this week's disclaimer.

    Hells bells, Kiki was into stem cells again. We talked about a cool study finding video games are good for vision. Then we revisited black holes by comparing a couple of stories on the same story in the news. Justin went on and on about squishy balls. Scientists do enjoy playing asteroids in real life. Tuberculosis has an achilles NAD. Due to the Texas State Board of Education Kiki went into evolution rants. We found out how daddy long-legs affect British birds. Paleontologists report a carnivorous dinosaur that breathed like a bird. And, we dug into the Minion Mailbag.

    Music on this week's show is thanks to
    Unbalanced Wheel, Chuck Lee Bramlet, My Poor Kevin, and Obka.
