[Original post on the Sciblogs The Official Sciblogs Podcast site]
Greetings, dear listeners!
This week, aimee was joined once again by Chelfyn Baxter, co-host of the g33k show, to talk through some of the science stories of the last week. They included using lasers to rip the universe a new one, Boeing building spacecraft, the weight of the internet, alternate living, radiation-cleaning Aussie nanofibres, asteroids, and some very interesting Sciblogs articles.
We apologise (once again, sigh) for the slight oddness in the sound on this one. We’re using a new venue, and it’s coming with surprises! As always, please do feel free to comment/contact us – feedback helps us improve :)
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!
Additionally, we have a Youtube Channel – Sciblogs Podcast – which gets updated weekly, too.
