scienceTASTIC Episode 049 - Stimulating Conversation

You might think we're lazy here at scienceTASTIC - quickly skimming the internet for science news to cover each episode - but in actuality we personally verify every story we discuss. For instance, Mike used his basement particle accelerator to test a new theory for paradox-less time travel, Mark teamed up with multiple animal behaviorists to confirm that dogs mimic their owners' movements, and Joe reserved time at the Arecibo Observatory to track a new asteroid that could smash into Earth... in 2182. Double-blind studies were also done on generating power from the salinity difference between seawater and fresh water, rebooting the internet in case it ever gets knocked offline, and spacequakes caused by snaps in the magnetosphere. We'd love to stay and chat, but we have a some green liquid bubbling in a flask.

What we didn't get to: Americans wasting food and energy, and a first look at Boeing's commercial capsule spacecraft.
