Today In Space

TIS#051 09/24/15 Drinking, With Engineers - Genetics


Listen Later

Welcome to the show! Alex wanted to celebrate the "half-way" point for the #YearInSpace mission that was reached earlier this week. So, he invited his Genetics-friends (Neil Crawford & John Neary) over for some beers and to talk about GENETICS in Space, DNA & the Science behind the Year In Space Mission.* 6 months in, 6 more months to go! In case you didn't know, Engineers like to drink. And when they drink, they talk about Science. Hear what it's like to have Engineer Friends on this episode of "DRINKING, WITH ENGINEERS"

*THESE ARE THE OPINIONS OF SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS WHO ARE DRINKING, SO TAKE IT ALL WITH YOUR OWN DISCRETION. BY LISTENING TO THE RAMBLINGS OF THESE OF SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS, YOU AGREE THAT ANY INFORMATION YOU HEAR MAY NOT BE CORRECT & YOU SHOULD LOOK THEM UP ON YOUR OWN AFTERWARDS. BECAUSE AFTER ALL, WE ARE CONSUMING ALCOHOL.
