Lies... Damned Lies... And We Need Some Sleep
This week!
We interview science writer and communications expert, Sherry Seethaler, about her new book, Lies, Damned Lies, and Science. We talked with Sherry about what it takes to be critical of information in the media, tips, tricks, and things to watch out for, and her take on the fossilized media circus recently caused by a few paleontologists.
Also in the show, we covered the story of the tiny lemur-like fossil that has caused so much hub-bub; Bird finds birds creative at tool use; life abides... even asteroid bombardment; sex is all in your head; and both of us are lacking the brain pattern for sleep.
Music on the show was by Unbalanced Wheel, The Amygdaloids, Daniel Messer, and the Gifted Apes.
