Caleb was in Ohio this weekend which means Steve and Caleb were able to do the podcast in person. This was their first podcast together in Steve's new podcast studio (a.k.a. Steve's home office). They begin by discussing the collection of books on Steve's bookcase. The guys then discuss briefly the terrifying history of medicine in America. Eventually, they get to video games and nerd out a little bit on Starcraft II.

At some point, Steve and Caleb get on science. Steve begins to recount his Bio graduate seminar and the research he has been reading about. He talks about a process in cells called Autophagy.

Caleb talks about Carbon isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with a different atomic mass. They react chemically similar but have slightly different physical properties.

This episode is filled with a lot of discussion on many more interesting topics. Take a listen to hear them all.

Here are some of the books the guys talked about:

-Dr. Mutter's Marvels: A True Tale of Intrigue and Innovation at the Dawn of Modern Medicine-
