It's All Gone To The Birds
At least that's how it feels when there are so many stories about birds in the news... and, you know, I am ok with the birds taking over. It might be better than the robots.
This week we covered stories about the genetic diversity inside our brains, how difficult it is to wield biological control, a step forward in quantum computing, misery doesn't pay, weird hyperactive baby galaxies, how we came from the trees, all the smart birds and squirrels, animal diversity in the Himalayas, and how to give your cigarettes to science.
Music on the show was by Unbalanced Wheel, Monty Harper, The Amygdaloids, and The Gifted Apes.
Listen to it all here.
Next week: Stay tuned for an interview with theoretical physicist David Albert.
This month the TWIS Bookclub is reading Michio Kaku's Physics of the Impossible. Check it out:
