Astrophysicist Dr. Bryan Gillis is back! It's another really fun one as Bryan teaches us some phascinating physics by way of the Portal video game universe. Why do we have conservation of momentum?

My guest today is Dr. Heidi Pearson! She's a marine biologist and someone who had no idea I was going to ask about when whales attack rich people boats. But she was more than ready for the question!  Her paper on whales and the carbon cycle caught our eye here, and the interview was definitely more about that but let's face it, we all want to know about the boat attacks first and foremost. But after that, we talk about animal intelligence, evolution, climate change, and so much more!

"The speakers speaking about what great Christians they are? Great. Go tell your pastor. Our schools are not your church.” If you happen to recognize those words, that means you've seen the viral video in which Adrienne Martin fought back against moral panicking conservatives at a Texas school board meeting. But how did she get here? There's so much to it, and it makes for a really fascinating and inspiring story. Listen to how this, in her words, "typical suburban mom" went from hairdresser to superstar activist! And also still a hairdresser.

Today's guest is Hannah Edwards, a neuroscience grad student at Washington University in St. Louis, and part of the Cirrito Lab, which has released a new study on Alzheimer's and stress in mice. Stress causes the levels of Alzheimer's proteins to rise in females' brains but not males' brains. This difference may shed some light on the greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease that women have. Hannah will take us through the study and also teach us a bit of the basics on Alzheimer's along the way! Are you an expert in something and want to be on the show? Apply here!

SIO369: Stress Increases Alzheimer's Risk in Women... But Not Men?

Join Thomas for some critical thinking on questions of science, philosophy, skepticism and politics.  These serious topics are discussed with some serious guests, but in an entertaining and engaging way!  This is not your typical interview podcast; it’s a friendly dialogue, conducted thoughtfully and with plenty of humor. It's Serious Inquiries Only; but like, not boring or anything.

Great, intelligent, fulfilling, entertaining

Great podcast

Thomas is an intelligent, empathetic human who excels at the brand of quasi-journalism the show focuses on. Jaimie has not been on as long, but has brought even more amazing perspectives and ideas.

Amazing show

Serious Inquiries Only

... like good old fashioned pedophilia? I've some miscellany and voicemails! The theme of today's show is centered around people (usually white men) complaining about what they are losing when standards change. For example, us evil progressives have taken away this  immensely popular picture of a sexual assault. And, for some reason, Eric Weinstein thinks the Simpsons taking down their Michael Jackson episode is bad? I also talk about lowering the  voting age (and  raising it.)

Ezra Klein

Today's episode is full of drama. So naturally, I have to talk about why there is drama and what I am trying to do in all this. One key question is: which issues do atheists tend to say "eh, agree to disagree" vs. "this disqualifies someone?" There are some patterns there to examine. Then, don't miss the later half where I discuss the Harris-Klein issue. I think there's an extremely fascinating insight to come out of that. And it's something that I don't think many people are picking up on. Klein-Harris email exchange;  NYT article on the study;  Excellent 2nd Klein piece; those Seth Andrews deems friends.  Leave Thomas a voicemail! (916) 750-4746, remember short and to the point!

This one covers fascinating and wide-ranging territory including immigration, the wall, regulations, coal miners, and more! I really do try to be as fair as possible. There are some things we can give Trump a bit of credit for. There are also outright lies and cons as well as idiotic misunderstandings on the part of the r/The_Donald listmaker. Links: 11. Police killings in decline, executive order meaningless. 12.  Redefining the wall,  Deportation problems,  Trump deportations. 13.  Senate passes NCAA,  NCAA above cap levels. 14. Lobbying ban waivers,  more on that. 15.  Cartels order is nothing. 16. Trump's coal spin, Trump's not bringing back coal jobs. 17.  Carrier deal pointless,  jobs numbers are fake!,  nothing to do with Intel factory,  softbank deal. 18.  NATO speech upsets team, NATO increases pre-date Trump. 19.  Trump scraps good regulations.
