Tonight on the show we concentrated on science... and sciency things. Mark Margolis explains to us how 3D works, Lucas Turner talks about robots and Alex Clayden checks out how we are going to communicate with alien life once it's discovered. This hour of science should not be missed, as it is as informative as it is interesting. Other features in the episode include Adam Bayley's report on the 30 meter telescope utilized by UCSC and their top notch astronomy department, Brian Nickerson approaches adaptive optics from a new angle, Casey Coughlin reports on the effects of oral birth control, and sandwiched in it all is a piece on the use of stem cells to help cure leukemia.

However, when provoked, erosion can be devastating to the ecosystem.  For farmer's, erosion control is especially important because of the fragility of the soil. Erosion is a natural process that has helped shape our planet's landscape over time. However, when provoked, erosion can be devastating to the ecosystem.  For farmer's, erosion control is especially important because of the fragility of the soil.  Without proper planning, farmland can be leveled by rainfall. When a given area is cleared of it's native flora in order to plant crops, the land is more susceptible to erosion because water can flow across the land unobstructed. Erosion control is highly relative to a given geographic area's elevation, neighboring streams, and soil composition.  The USDA's district conservationist Richard Casale has been advising Monterrey Bay's farmers on erosion control practices for over thirty five years.  In this clip, I interview Richard on what erosion issues are pertinent to this area.

In October 2009 I spoke with Mark Weisbrot from the Center for Economic Policy and Research... ...about a report that they had just released. The report addresses the issue of pro-cyclical policies being used by the IMF when lending to countries. This is a seemingly problematic thing, as countries that have taken advantage of these policies have shown to have had trouble paying back the money owed.
