Joshua Bennett, the co-founder of Hero Forge, Skyped in to talk about 3D printing and the tabletop gaming industry. Originally funded by Kickstarter, Hero Forge® is a platform which allows gamers to create detailed characters in full 3D right in their web browser!

My good friend Kiron Mukherjee and I recently hosted a live-chat on the Royal Ontario Museum's Facebook page to discuss my work using tabletop role playing games to teach teenagers social skills, history, and science! I recorded the audio as an "archive" episode of Curiosity in Focus for your listening pleasure!

Daniel sits down with educator, radio host, and science communicator Julie Tomé to discuss the nature of modern zoos. Are they a necessary evil for education? Or do they give us a false sense of what is "natural"?
