And I have to go to sleep now. Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons were awesome. Tomorrow it’s Devil’s Tower and the Wind Caves.

My sister Kristina currently lives in Alaska and works on ships. Currently, she’s getting her pilotage, which means that she’s piloting ships around and memorizing the layout of ports and getting tested on that knowledge. When finished, it will make her a good candidate for, well, being a pilot. She might find herself working in a port, piloting big ships in, a cruise ship (all the way up to Captain..?), or a research vessel. She kind of likes the idea of working with scientists so she can hold intelligent conversations on the job. Anyway, I just saw some unsettling news - my sister’s ship ran aground! Read More…

I did my last live show in Davis last night, and it was certainly fun and surprising for many. I planned this show more than probably any other, and had so many cool things set up that it… almost all fell apart. Cue the hysterical laugh - hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Read More…

Hello everyone. I’m gearing up for the last live episode of The Inoculated Mind Radio & Mindcast on KDRT 101.5 fm. Tonight, from 6-7:30 pm, there will be no science news, but plenty of fun.

Episode 74

Miller v Myers

First, PZ Myers and Ken Miller will return for a discussion of the role of religion and non-religion in the acceptance of evolution. They were on the show back in January, but were in back-to-back interviews. Due to popular demand, I’ve put together a dual-phone interview to bring them both on to discuss the issue together. Or tear each other apart with their Lightsabers Logic and Jedi Mind Tricks arguments.

Grad what?

My show is ending in Davis because I’m taking off to graduate school. If all goes well, however, repeats will be playing on KDRT until I secure a new station, and thereafter it will continue to be broadcasted fresh each week in town. I’ll be talking more about what I’ll be doing, why I decided to go to Madison, and who I’ll be working for. In case you have some frustration you would like to misplace, I’ll have my new advisor on the show, Dr. Shawn Kaeppler, who will talk about the research he does, and what research and communication projects I’ll be working on with him.

Something making me uneasy

Ever feel like you’re being watched? Followed? Like someone’s out to get you? Whenever I have that feeling, Evil J. Klone tends to show up. I wonder if he’ll try something tonight?

The Appassionata

Ariela Haro from Ariela’s Appassionata will also be on at the end of the show to talk about doing radio, moving to Wisconsin with me, and there might be a few surprises in store for her. Good thing she’s not reading my blog right now.

Goodbyes

We’ll be bidding Davis farewell as we start our next adventure. Call-ins are welcome.
