Manhattan Gay Hookup Spots

good for the ears 2

Behind the scenes, I'm still trying to tinker at the next meeting due to the paper. That is why today is quick podcast recommendations.

About Radio Lab podcast I've been a few times reported. In the current episode it about - who else? - To Darwin. Who wants to hear, as Charles Darwin and Francis Crick (yes, with the structure of DNA) are connected to each other, but must listen to the full half hour. I will not tell when will this nice info!

After so much science wants to be entertained but also good. For that I can recommend the last three episodes StarShipSofa , in which the nominated short stories diejährigen British Science Fiction Awards are to be heard. Especially Ted Chiang I think one of the best writers we have at the moment. In "exhalation" he manages to combine robotics, anatomy and free will with allusions to the "Big Freeze" and the multiverse hypothesis. Great!
And if this short story for me now it is already a winner, the other two nominees are also recommended. As would the one hand, M. Rickert, "Evidence of Love in a Case of Abandonment" of a world in which the Pro-Life Group has won, and on the other hand, Paul McAuley "Little Lost Robot" on an enormous robot that moves through our galaxy and stomp all over all life.
