    Blame It On Your Genes

    Last week we interviewed Dr. Greg Gibson, professor and author of "It Takes a Genome", about the interplay between our modern world and our ancient genes. It seems our many modern ills are a problem arising from genetic and technological success. We outgrew our genes.



    Also on the show: Bisphenol Everywhere, even in the drink; Toxo Crashes Cars; Beware of Robo-Ferret; RoboGames Redux; Adventures in Popularity; Move Over Silicon!; Go Fly A Kite for power; and Betelguese is losing weight.

    Music on the show was by Unbalanced Wheel, Jake Mann, and others... it was difficult.

    Listen to it all here.
