New Naked Scientist Podcast
I made this!
New and Emerging diseases go under the microscope in this week's Naked Scientists, as we discover how new diseases arise, cross species barriers and spread throughout the population. We hear about the origins of HIV, the conditions that create hotspots for new pathogens and a fatal new virus found in Africa. Also, we find out why some people are genetically pre-disposed to AIDS, how the giardia bug changes coats to trick the immune system and why captive elephants live shorter lives than in the wild. Plus, in Kitchen Science, Ben takes the Tabasco Temperature Test to see how mints and chilli affect the temperature on your tongue!
I have now discovered that eating mints with Tabasco on is actually a pleasant and addictive experience.

Dr. Chris is a dude!
I was on the first ever Podcast panel at CARET a few years back with him.
I'll never forget his Ali G impression during Latin mass at dinner in the presence of the other not so famous Baron-Cohen
