Science AF featuring ION Scionce!

Dr Ciaccio (not a doctor) explores the new lab-grown mammoth meat, the "vagina on a microchip" being used to study the human biome, some resilient little flying robots, a vaccine for honeybees, and new evidence for what we already knew: the ultra-rich are cognitively less intelligent than the general population. Plus in Space Madness, how do you weigh a Galaxy Cluster? A.I. found a way, and didja know the JW Telescope posted a detailed pic of Uranus?

In this Episode Dr Ciaccio (not a doctor) looks into new advancements in Nuclear Fusion. The Artemis Mission including the Orion Spacecraft which just circumnavigated the moon, a Zombie Ant Fungus-eating Fungus, the USDA passes Lab-Grown Chicken meat, a Brain Computer Interface for coma victims, some Big Bustards that self medicate, a fake Black Hole and a Real One, and finally in Common Nonsense: Is the new Lensa AI Portrait app a good thing or a bad thing? or another thing entirely?

The DART Mission Scores, Betelgeuse Burps, The Megalodon Murders, Bumblebee Fish, ECASH and Con-Trails!

DART, Betelgeuse, ECASH and Con-Trails!

Dr Ciaccio (not a doctor) looks at the science news of the month including the possible first measurement of Hawking Radiation, a titanium ball-drop on Venus, a hot new male contraception idea and the arrival of the Bat Falcon. Plus a Science AF short on the re-instatement of wolves to the endangered species list after a disastrous massacre/hunting season in Wisconsin. Then a Deep-Dive into the latest International Space-Station Drama. Is Russia planning to tank it before NASA gets a chance to dunk it into the sea? Finally, we take a look at the fierce misguided hatred directed at "Screen Time" and why it is COMMON NONSENSE!

Dr Ciaccio returns with a look at the news, including the Moon Hut, Ingenuity Helicopter grounded and a Goldfish-Driven Car. Short looks into the James Webb Space Telescope, possible evidence of Life On Mars, the probable cause of Multiple Sclerosis, and the Dolphin Clitorus. A Deep Dive into a way to reduce cow burps, and which animals fart. And finally in Common Nonsense, why the Tomato really is a Vegetable. No, really! Yes, it is! No, you shut up!

Fake Dr Ciaccio looks into the new classification of human species known as the Dragon Man, a new age study is bad news for the prehistoric Coelacanth fish, and in common nonsense: does Vitamin C do anything for us? Plus are those mushrooms on Mars?

Dr Ciaccio (not a doctor) talks about new info on the social lives of Tyrannosaurus Rexes, they might have had more friends than we thought, plus reportedly they were slow AF. Also, alarmist headlines aside, robots that custom make smaller robots are all the rage. In Color news there's a new whitest white and it's not a GOP fundraiser, it's a paint that reflects some huge percentage of light. In Muon news two particle accelerators, CERN in Switzerland and Fermilab in Illinois, are racing to confirm new data that might upend particle physics as we know it, or never quite understood in the first place. Finally, there's a remote control helicopter on Mars and I still don't have one.

Dr Ciaccio (not a doctor) looks into new evidence from New Zealand about the last time the Earth's magnetic poles flipped around 42,000 years ago. Also a promising new technology can etch holograms onto foods, Slugs shed their heads (rather bodies) to get a fresh start and how diamonds made from the carbon in the atmosphere could be a climate boon. Finally we take a look and listen at the new data coming back from Mars.

Dr Ciaccio (not a doctor) looks into a US military test of a pizza-box sized solar panel designed to beam microwave energy back to Earth. Plus scientists built a Black Hole in a lab (kinda) to test if Hawking Radiation is real. An AI built by Uber aced Pitfall and other 80s Arcade Games. And in Common Nonsense we take a look at why "the chicken and egg" paradox has not been a paradox or a problem for a very long time.
