Episode 13: 2/5/14 Pluripotency, Chimerism, and Robots drinking beer

How many puns can Reno and Nina make about eggs?  Well, they egg each other on constantly, so a lot.  But if you want to learn about chimerism, you must make it through all of them!  If you suspect you're pooping wrong, you're probably right.  If this embarrasses you, chances are you feel that embarrassment in your face, like much of the world.   Also discussed is how most cells could gain the ability to morph into cells for any part of the body, when the autistic brain is creating the most information, how an e-tongue works, and how close we are to a Star Trek world.
