Physics addicts out there should take a look at a new stackoverflow community site for physics. Says Nick Gotch, “a place for students, hobbyists, and researchers to exchange knowledge both at the beginner level and advanced.”
Happy 4th of July everyone!!! Even if you aren’t listening or watching this in the US, it’s a day to reflect on your country, wherever you are. Let’s try to learn from our past mistakes and not ever have a rainbow sky on the 4th…
I'm the host of this little science show. 
Hi, Guys:
Greetings from the other side of the continent. I just began listening to your show a few months ago, and have come to enjoy it quite a bit.
I do have one quibble, though. I was interested in reading more about the study out of the University of British Columbia mentioned on the July 1 episode that concluded that “Westerners are weird.” I naturally navigated here to pick up the link, but after some perusing, was unable to locate any sort of show notes.
Because I’m new to your site, I may be missing something obvious. In that case, I’d be grateful if you could point out where you keep the references. If you don’t post references, then I have a humble suggestion for you (can you guess what it might be?).
I also realize that you are still working on acclimating yourselves to the quirks of your new site, and that you may already be working on posting show notes. I understand that these things can take time.
In the meantime, I scanned back through the episode to get some of the study’s details so that I could look it up independently through Google. So don’t worry about sending me that particular link. Just keep in mind that I (or someone else) will probably be back here in the future to look something up. It would be sad to have to leave empty-handed.
Anyway, thanks again for providing all of us listeners with an awesome show. I can’t wait to hear more!
