Merry Christmas! Belinda and Jack are joined from Sydney by their old friend Elliot Birch, back for another ride on the Pseudoscientists… train? Are we a train? Anyway, they talk about a vector video codec, violence and video games, obesity vs. malnutrition, and a win for gay rights in California. Jargonauts looks at “phenotype” and “genotype”, and your answers to last week’s Christmas-themed question. Sadly, no On The Street this week, though. Next episode’s question: “What scientific breakthroughs do you think will happen next year?”
Plus, what Elliot’s been up to, YAS blog relaunch chat, and Jack plugs the book really well. So smooth.
