Jane Goodall is one of the coolest people on the planet.  That is a fact.  Chuck and Boris went to a science fair to talk to some young scientists.  They also attended a talk by Goodall, and I recite her biography from memory.  Listen up!

Valentines Day

leave a comment »

On last week’s Doppler Effect, Chuck Furlong brings up one of the most sensitive subjects for men: are you too short?  He also talks about oxytocin and sexy times.  Then, Rose Eveleth takes on a common problem for the ladies: cat-calling.  The short answer: no it’s not romantic.  Not even on Valentine’s Day.
