    Philosopher Kings, Unite!

    Today we had an interview for Justin... Dr. David Albert of Columbia University and a philosopher of science joined us for a discussion of uncertainty and the differences between philosophy and science. You would be surprised at the blurring going on in physics. I accidentally call Bohr Bose. Whoops.

    Also, we covered stories on curing mice of multiple sclerosis, tracking cocaine, planets found going retrograde, decimation of the bees, and the world's smallest laser.

    Music on the show was by Unbalanced Wheel, Warp11, Jake Mann, and The Gifted Apes.

    Listen to it all here.

    Next week: Stay tuned for an interview with physicist Richard Muller, teacher and author of Physics for Future Presidents.

    This month the TWIS Bookclub is reading Michio Kaku's Physics of the Impossible. Check it out:
