Brain Science is a monthly podcast Brain Science, hosted by Ginger Campbell, MD. We explore how recent discoveries in neuroscience are helping unravel the mystery of how our brain makes us human. The content is accessible to people of all backgrounds.
In response to listener requests, I recently interviewed Dr. Steven Novella from the Skeptics Guide to the Universe. This has been posted as Episode 16 of Books and Ideas , my other podcast. The details are available in the show notes on the Books and Ideas website. I hope you will consider subscribing to the podcast, but if you just want to hear the interview,
Dan Ariely is a professor of behavioral economics at MIT and author of the bestseller, Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions. He was my guest for Episode 19 of Books and Ideas.
During the interview, he explains how his came to study human behavior. He uses examples from his book to explore the question, "What makes a good experiment?" He also discusses how he hope that his findings can help strengthen our society, despite our human tendency to make "irrational" choices.
Books and Ideas Podcast #15 is an interview with Robert Schleip, PhD, from the University of Ulm in Germany. Dr. Schleip is an experienced practitioner of the body work method known as Rolfing, but several years ago he went back and earned his PhD in Biology and began a second career as a research scientist.
In our interview, we discuss some of the recent discoveries that may revolutionize the way we look at the connective tissue that is commonly called fascia. We also talk about the importance of applying the scientific method to the evaluation of alternative and complimentary healing methods (CAM). Dr. Schleip's enthusiasm for science made this a very enjoyable interview.
Dr. Schleip recommends the Wikipedia entry on fascia if you would like to learn the basics.

The First International Congress International Research Congress was held in October, 2007 in Boston, MA.
