Episode 33 of S4theB! finds your stalwart science seeker interviewing Dr. Randall Reiserer, evolutionary biologist and biological behavioralist. Dr. Reiserer (pronounced "riser") is investigating the behavior of mice in a search for a cure for Alzheimer's Disease, and he is also a presenter of interactive videoconferences for the Virtual Scientist program at the Center for Science Outreach. We talk about what it was like for Randy to put this presention together and how he felt the interaction went, and we'll delve into some of his content--"What is Evolution," anyway, really?!! Our conversation evolved into a discussion of the incredible new discovery of Tiktaalik, the new "incredibly cool fossil" recently discovered in Arctic Canada. Read more about it in the links below! Finally, the big question--listen up here to discover what question I might ask of an evolutionary biologist, considering, of course that I'm an educator of young children and a science proponent. Music for today's podcast provided by the Podsafe Music Network, a trance piece from a South African group called Ruddha. The song is entitled "R-evolution Club Dub." One last note, in the interview I mention that the name Tiktaalik "must be a Upik word." Well, I was nearly right. The word is actually Inuktitut. Good near-miss, Scotty-me-lad!
