[Original post on the Sciblogs The Official Sciblogs Podcast site]
Welcome back to a very icy, buggy TOSP!
This week, Elf and aimee talk about ice. Well, mostly ice. Brinicles, ice on Europa and even ice-related geoengineering in Mongolia. And undersea silk. Excitingly, however, they also talk with their first guest, Sciblogger Siouxsie Wiles of Infectious Thoughts, and her post this week on (illegal) chickenpox lollipops. She also talks about tuberculosis, why it’s so important, and why even New Zealand is getting in on the act of studying this disease.
Pearltree for this episode here, pearltree for all TOSP episodes here. You can also follow these posts by RSS here, or you can follow the podcast on iTunes!
You can find this podcast on New Zealand’s very own Ziln TV (which feeds through to services like Sony TV). Additionally, we have a Youtube Channel – Sciblogs Podcast – which gets updated weekly, too.
