TOSP Episode 8: October 31st 2011

[Original post on the Sciblogs The Official Sciblogs Podcast site]

Featuring something ever so slightly different this week.

Elf, as previously mentioned, is away for a couple of weeks (somewhere in the Pacific, possibly)? So aimee invited friend, and the g33k show co-host Chelfyn Baxter onto the podcast.

This week, we covered the very real possibility of a functional malarial vaccine, carbon nanotube-containing silicon which could function like skin, a secret society’s opthalmic obsession (and how we know about it), Youtube Channels, the story of an octopus, the tree of life, Science Ink (tattoos), the Retake the Net barcamp, and open access.
