Playlist for Show: The Science Hour

Today we cover the unloved, under appreciated, yet ever present and always important topic of poop! We talk about it’s use for alternative energy and as a cooking fuel, but also talking about the health aspect of poop- how poor sanitation affects public health, fecal transplants and then discussing some of the anthropological and bio-anthropological uses for poop! Next week: it’s time to talk about babies!
