The following program contains civil discourse.

That’s the thing where one person speaks, while others listen

and then that first person stops talking

and listens as a different person talks

There may be occasions where more than one person is talking at once

largely due to enthusiasm

for the subject matters being discussed

But we will try to keep that to a minimum

An informal, loosely formatted and completely unmoderated conversation is expected

And while no ground rules have been agreed upon…

At no point will you hear anyone verbally attacking anyone’s character

Belittling another’s intelligence

or

Besmirching somebody else’s family members

Because even without rules and moderators…

People can be well behaved and interact in a civil manner

Like adults. Or children for that matter, they’re pretty good at that too.

We choose to be civil.

We choose to be civil with one another on this podcast, and not say the bad things,

not because it is easy…

But because it is hard… to listen to people who aren’t being civil

Besides, being civil is easy.

All you need to do is listen

To

This Week in Science,

Coming Up Next…

Let’s start with some quick science news stories…
