The Last Word

By Sally Adee | September 22, 2012 | Comments Off

17 -21 September

The forbidden crystal sounds like an Indiana Jones sequel, but it’s real. Ann tells you about an expedition “to find something nature made that we didn’t know it could make.”

Heather explains honey guides, honey badgers, and why honey was likely the fuel that gave us our big brains.

Three-time guest posting superstar Erik Vance describes the “nuclear-powered hyperactive killing machines who will destroy anything that runs from them” and why they might be Yosemite’s last hope. But at what price?

Heather makes the case that fire was cozy for Neanderthals, too.

And Jessa asks what a country should do if it wants to be at the forefront of science and technology.
