Dan Riskin - November 20, 2023

Listen Later

After he vicious assaults his own face, science educator Dan Riskin and David kibbitz about nerd stuff – mostly programming languages. Dan discusses the following stories making their rounds in science news:


  • Want to get a good answer from Chat GPT? Tell it you’re scared, or that this matters to your career!
  • Are redheads really more sensitive to pain? – David's orange girlfriend is discussed
  • Tattoos may seem like they're everywhere, but they still stigmatize people in the legal system.
  • Have you ever wished your life was more meaningful? Psychologists have a suggestion to help: model it after a hero's journey. – David derails by turning the conversation towards the Artist's Journey.


    The show ends with David declaring his love for Dan, and being unhappy with Mr. Riskin's response.
