Reno, Nina, and producer Michael discuss everything from orca rights to the funniest joke in the world. Science continues to fight its way back into mainstream culture with a children's story book about evolution already gaining $25K in backing money on kickstarter.com, with Neil deGrasse Tyson hosting Cosmos and boldly defending scientific thinking in a CNN interview, and NASA is awarding cash prizes to anyone who can improve existing algorithms to track asteroids more effectively.
Yes, science seems to be getting better and better at re-energizing a sometimes apathetic public.
Then again, entropy isn't what it used to be.
