TOSP Episode 19: January 30th 2012

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

Greetings, podcast audience of ours!

This week’s podcast was supposed to be slightly shorter than usual, but then Elf and aimee got into a Discussion or two. There may have been some slight ranting :)

We cover the human brain connectome (peeeerdy), awesome urchin-like nanospheres, a NZ critter app, the world’s first iridescent mammal, a medical/bioinformative challenge, science and weight loss, ranting discussion on the place of scientists these days, and critical thinking. And some events :)

Fun, in other words!
