| Description |
Kent Bottles, MD, interviews University of Minnesota - Morris Developmental Biology Professor PZ Myers, who is also the founder of the hugely successful science blog, Pharyngula.org. They discuss the role of blogging for science and medicine, using blogs to interpret heavy science for the lay public. The discussion then turns much deeper and heavier to topics such as the erosion of public education, Francis Crick, the conscious being, trust in medicine, peer review, split brain experiments and science as religion. |

The goal of the system is to keep the billing service on its toes by routinely requesting the status of random claims. Eventually you will become a very polite, but squeaky wheel, and will get the attention you deserve.
