Truth is, journalists these days are not even willing to follow their journalistic ethics - their reporting is biased sensationalism intended to brainwash you into a certain point of view, facts be damned.So I have a hard time believing a poor unethical journalist (of which most are) will turn out to be a great and correct physicist.Hi Ali Foss, Feel free to send me an email if you would like a copy of my Hydrogen poem! So the atom bomb basically will assist in destroying all life on earth. I spent my childhood terrified that we were all going to be vaporized in an all world nuclear war.The reporter's insensitive treatment of the topic of nuclear war goes to show that history is no longer taught with any substance or understanding in school, or that she and many others never paid attention.It's not a superation story, fighting mental illness is hard and tiring and unfortunately there are no "wonder drugs".In 2013 I had my first manic/mixed episode and I was having several delusions. But I was my grandmother that me and my siblings never met because she had a severe and untreated mental problem.Keep up the hard work Team Radiolab, also very much enjoying your more recent episodes. I am dying to get a copy of the poem Hydrogen by Sarah Salas that was read during this podcast.I loved it and would like to display it at my home :) I could not find it with a google search.
I just want to share a bit of my conflicted story with lithium.Just heard this podcast today, it seems it was made in 2015 as the race to 2030 was stated as being 15 years into the future. We have to adjust our RC dates now to pre 1950, I do my dating at Lawrence Livermore, and its all adjusted to 1950 because everything afterward has an overload of Carbon that isn't reliable.I too, as a scientist think this was a horrible presentation of radiocarbon dating. Archaeologist and Earth Scientist, i date all kinds of organics from lake sediment, and bone, and anything from our ancient past that can be. perhaps not, now with the Trump administration she may get her wish. It would be good for you to do a follow up podcast on this!Which means- after 5730 years, the concentration of C-14 in a sample of tissue will be HALVED. I agree that journalists explaining science is often way off base.By measuring the concentration of C-14 in a sample of tissue and calculating backwards- we can determine the age of a sample of organic matter. Case in point, when the discussion about the elements of the atomic bombs still being available in the atmosphere...
I’m almost certain they’ll encounter men who might wish to abuse and exploit them or drain them of their spirit.
