Science Friday

Science Friday Tomorrow - welcome guest host Joe Palca. In our first hour, we'll check in with the folks at the LHC, get an update on the stuck Mars rover Spirit, and talk about a new deep carbon observatory project. In hour two, a look at how bird feeders affected the evolution of one species of birds, and a discussion of clinical psychology.

I can tell you how bird feeders in my yard effect squirrels' behavior/evolution. If they can't get into the feeder (squirrel-proof :) ), they will jump onto it repeatedly thereby knocking seed onto the ground and then eat the fallen seed. Also the starlings and jays drive many birds away from my feeders.

Alecia, no one is recommending that you wait ten years! They're saying that someone like you (no family history) doesn't have to have a mammogram once every year. What they're saying is have one soon as a baseline. Then maybe have one two years later at age 42,etc.

Hands up, how many women over 40 without a history of breast cancer have a mammogram done faithfully every year? I know I don't. I hate those things.

I finally understand hydrophobia! But I'm far from it living here in Phoenix, where it's near-year-round swimming weather.

This false memory problem with the fruit flies all started back in the 60's when they were all first entering psychotherapy.
