  • Spot on, spotted owls

    Great story and unbiased coverage. It brought back my time hearing spotted owls while firefighting on OR’s Umpqua NP, in early 80’s. And the 1st time I heard the invasive barred owl in OR, 1994.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Foiled! Napoleon's cutlery and the Aluminati
Q: What was the motivation for isolating aluminum in the mid 1800s?
There was a huge scientific push to isolate elements, driven by curiosity and the belief that aluminum could be a superior metal due to its lightness, corrosion resistance, and potential military applications; this spurred investment and promising but initially scarce supply until a breakthrough process emerged.
Cosmic earthquake pizza
Q: What are the chances of eating an apple from the same tree as another in the Cosmic Crisp scenario?
It's unlikely but not impossible; due to hand-picking, large bins, and mixing in packing houses, there is a non-zero chance, though practically the chance is very small within a year.
Cosmic earthquake pizza
Q: Is Anthony right about leaving pizza out overnight and eating the next day?
The expert suggests that, while the USDA has a general two-hour rule, pizza left out overnight is not necessarily risky due to the crust, sauce acidity, and low water activity from cheese, but caution remains and context matters.
City Summer, Country Summer
Q: What was different about writing for kids compared to writing for adults?
It was definitely harder; the author describes pushing the genre, reading many children's books, and navigating high-concept ideas in a way that remains digestible for children.
The Willy Wonka factory of product testing
Q: What's the relationship between CR's testing and environmental goals?
CR aims to inform smart consumers with research so they can make choices that align with their values, including selecting durable products and supporting environmental health considerations.
