Mike is busy moving into his new home, so Joe and Mark's housewarming gift is to mock him in his absence.  Oh, and to cover some news.  Mark is ecstatic to finally have brought together two of his interests: science and soccer.  Joe is slightly less excited about the Texas Board of Education doing a two-step all over established scientific principles.  Speaking of scientific principles, Mark then brings us... ghosts.  We also use nanotubes to harness the power of hamsters, realize our brains are smarter than us, and learn that space smells kinda' funny.  Four out of five dentists agree: this is the best Episode 014 of scienceTASTIC ever.  (That last dentist is an imbecile.)

The baker's dozen episode of scienceTASTIC comes just on the heels of Pi Day, and we all celebrate by bringing you science stories that have almost nothing to do with math whatsoever.  Mike settles the stem cell debate once and for all, Mark has all of the tooth-flossing, rock-throwing monkey news you could ever hope for, and Joe explains how being well-rested might keep you healthy (Discover Magazine, April 2009).  You'll also get human power generation, tidal energy, and the world's smallest letters.  Consider this episode our belated Pi Day audio greeting card to you. 

What we didn't get to: vampire minnows (not really), designer babies (sort of), and virtual reality mind reading (kinda').

There's no need to pick up your celeb gossip rag this week.  Episode 012 of scienceTASTIC is like the Us Weekly of geekdom.  Mark has the scoop on words that are soooo ten thousand years ago.  Mike delivers hot pics of physicist Brian Cox.  How hot?  Nuclear fusion hot.  And Joe gives us the inside dish on what kind of water will be the must have for the coming fashion season.  (Hint: it comes out of a tap.)  You'll also get green gadgets, human evolution (or the lack thereof) and the aforementioned show title.  Good luck finding any of that in People.

What we didn't get to: wasp stingers, air-breathing spacecraft, and musical Tesla coils.
