    Are You Scientific Enough To Be President?

    Dr. Richard Muller from UC Berkeley wants to make sure that you know your physics whether or not you want to be President... but, especially if you want to be President. We live in an increasingly technological world, and physics knowledge can help each and every one of us navigate it more effectively.

    On to the show! The Venter Institute is messing with bacteria again. Tiny worms are dropping green bombs. Justin rants about health care misperceptions. Time move on because we observe it.

    Music on the show was by Unbalanced Wheel, Jake Mann, George Hrab, and The Gifted Apes.

    Listen to it all here.

    Next month the TWIS Bookclub is reading Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near". Check it out:
