In this special episode, Sinead sits down for an interview with Carl Zimmer, an author and lecturer at Yale University, where he teaches writing about science and the environment, to discuss the topic of his latest book Science Ink: Tattoos of the Science Obsessed. The Angry Hippie joins the Dude before the interview and then pops back up after to help Sinead close the program and announce the specifics of the giveaway (which we will get to in a moment). Before the interview, Sinead covers the science behind exactly how tattoos work with a bit of an in depth look at our skin. As always, we really hope that you enjoy the show as much as we did putting it together.

Below are the details on the contest and a short gallery of nerdy ink from Science Dude and friends!

In this special episode, Sinead sits down for an interview with a colleague and friend, Zarin Machanda, a lecturer at Harvard, to discuss a range of topics dealing mostly with the evolution of digestion habits of humans and her research studying chimpanzees in Uganda (in a totally vegan-like observational way not a cruel one). Sinead also goes over the digestion process with Rob to cover exactly how our bodies break down food and gain nutrients via this highly specialized system at work. After the interview, the Dude and the Hippie check back in for a discussion of the not so vegan elements of what people evolved eating and how those limitations are not still at play today.
