The Interview!
It’s time to reintroduce our guest this evening and get into the real bones of this particular show with our incredible guest, Michael Garfield. You can find him on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, or check out everything via his Linktr.ee.
Michael Garfield is a Paleontologist-Futurist and transmedia artist whose work helps people navigate our age of “global weirding” — and inspires the curiosity and playfulness we’ll need to thrive in it. As a painter and digital artist, Michael draws inspiration from his background as a psychonaut and scientific illustrator to create everything from murals to apparel, and body art to book and album covers. His multi-instrumentalist talents in music have opened hearts and minds across four continents, with his songs and fully improvised performances featured everywhere from PBS to COSM, Burning Man to Meow Wolf, and even peer-reviewed archaeology research papers to the Phase II & III MDMA human trials. Additionally, as an author, essayist, and internationally-charting podcast host, Michael remixes science, art, philosophy, and myth to foster vital conversations at the frothy edges of the known and knowable.
Dr. Kiki and Michael get artistic in this fun interview you’ll want to listen to again and again!

Down through the ages, the human species has evolved
and adapted to the world around it with staggering results.
Humans have mastered almost every climate and terrain
Humans seem to find a way to engineer almost anything into existence
From buildings that soar above the landscape
To vehicles that fly above the clouds
Technology that orbits beyond the atmosphere
And records data from ancient galaxies
Snapshots of trillions of worlds
Billions of light years away
And yet, history shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of man
Despite the advances, humans are plagued by self-inflicted wounds
Those of violence, poverty, and discrimination…
Leftovers from ape-brained ancestral tribalism
And those of environmental destruction
As humans pollute, contaminate and forever alter
The world they must live in
Making even the mastered environments
Uninhabitable
There is hope for humanity
The greatest human accomplishments
Show that they have the capacity to take on big challenges
To make good choices
And in order for humans to continue to survive
They must choose
This Week in Science
Some quick science news!
RNA-World Evidence
Does new research really bring more evidence to the RNA-world hypothesis of how life began on Earth?
Energy boost
From Hydrogen
A Mammoth Step
Will the creation of viable elephant stem cells help bring success to the company working to revive the mammoth?
Forever Chemicals
Can we remove them?
Light Chemistry
Are light-activated molecules the next big thing in synthetic chemistry?

There sometimes seems to be little reason for why a world run by humans is run the way it is.
Without disparaging human beings in general painting them all with the same broad brush stroke across an incomprehensibly blank canvass of meaningless words and endless ideological selfy posts.
Humans… don’t seem to understand that their actions have consequences, often negative ones for the very planet on which they live.
And yes.
We can see you…
There are specific human doings that are really and truly pretty neat. Discovering galaxies billions of light years away, curing diseases, uncovering the lost histories of life on earth, and searching for answers to basically every question.
For humans who are interested in a world where all humans are curious, where human potential is positively pursued, and where the consequences of actions can be foreseen then you have come to the right place.
All the neat things the humans are doing are here… on
This Week in Science!
Some quick science news!
JWST Sees Clearly
Researchers confirmed the existence of a neutron star at the center of a supernova viewed in 1987. Until now, there was no way to see through the cloud of dust & gas created in the event. And, in other news, we left our mark on an asteroid.
Life on the moon?
Teeny tiny bits
Human Tales
How did we lose our tails?
Ancient meat substitute
Plants to the rescue
Fluorescent Fingerprints
This is what happens when we let detectives go the rave.

The following program is for anyone interested in the world around them.
The history, the future, the inner workings of complicated things…
This is a place for the curious, the clever, and the ever-restless mind.
A sanctuary of reason
A walled garden of delightful thoughts
An ivory tower of intellectually intrepid thinking
From here, you can see it all…
Above the clouds, below the ground
Everything in between and
Everything beyond
Eliminating the unreal
To reveal the real
The actual
The true
and verifiable
The ultimate mirror of existence
reflected off the unbiased surface of the scientific method
It is time once again to talk about everything that is going on
This Week in Science!
Some quick science news!
Life & SATURN
Life may or may not be possible in the oceans of Titan, but a deep learning approach to looking at life called SATURN might help us understand more about genes & species evolution.
Also, the “All of Us” program reported new analyses of 245,000 genomes and the addition of new genetic markers, specifically increasing our genomic and health-related data for historically underrepresented groups
Bogs, Boats, and Beatings
life in ancient Denmark
Bulls & Balls
Genes from infertile bulls could help treat infertility in men. Meanwhile, researchers elsewhere are growing mouse testes in a dish.
ADHD
The out-of-Africa theory
Propagandist AI
Surprising to no one, a study finds that AI can be used for propaganda purposes.

We don’t know what love is.
We know there are hormones involved.
That love is not lust,
but both are a must.
We know that relationships require trust,
But still, we don’t know,
if this thing we feel,
this drive that lives inside each and every one of us,
is truly something that makes us human,
divides us from other earthly beasts.
Is our heart to blame?
We have learned it’s more likely our brain.
But, still we can’t reconcile this emotion,
that connects us,
that sometimes breaks,
and rejects us,
with what we know about the pieces and parts,
that are physically us.
Science keeps digging,
Poets keep spinning,
The stories and songs we are singing,
But, love… it’s only the beginning…
For this episode of This Week in Science
Some quick science news!
Be Irresistible
Does showing you want to get to know someone matter?
Unexpected Pregnancy
A solo stingray suddenly appears pregnant. What is up with that?
Love Songs
Thanks to the love songs of skywalker gibbons, several new populations of this extremely endangered primate.
Female Freedom
Female mice don’t act like male mice. Who would have guessed?
Erecting Erections
Apparently, erections stimulate structural fibroblasts to keep functioning in the penis. So, erections lead to more erections.

The following program is brought to you by…
The good people who use science.
Science…
Reminding you that for everything you do,
You can do it better with science!
And by the collective work of researchers.
Researchers…
Remind you that for everything that science does,
It starts with an underfunded research project.
And by underpaid teachers everywhere…
Teachers…
Where underfunded researchers get their start.
And from our Patreon sponsors
The executive producers of the worlds longest running science podcast.
This week in science!
