In this special summer pledge drive show, the How On Earth science team shares reasons why they volunteer to bring you science. And we share a conversation with Florence Williams, a local author and scientist who has an extensive history of breast and uterine cancer in her family. She decided to do research into the topics of breasts, and discovered all kinds of surprises – such as the poor track record of detection through mammograms, and the amount of research into whether breasts evolved as eye candy for men, or as ways to help babies survive. And why, if women eat nothing but organic food, do they still have lots of toxins in their breast tissue . . . and breast milk?
Hosts: Tom McKinnon and Chip Grandits
