Hooray for science
27 September 2009 03:31 pmAfter the Britcoms were done, our local PBS affiliate ran through some shows about Mexico and Mexican food which were only mildly irritating and then played two science programs, one Nova and one from National Geographic.
( Ghost in Your Genes, from PBS Nova )
( Stress: Portrait of a Killer from NatGeo )
Although either of the two programs would stand alone as interesting and provocative, shown side by side they beg a question. There is substantial crossover between the two topics and yet I don't believe this is addressed by either. Would someone please introduce the producers, or better still key researchers from these two teams so they they can collaborate? I would be dismayed if modern academic science factionalism keeps these folks from ever talking seriously about topics they share interest in: improving primate health and well-being.
