From public controversies such as Global Warming, Stem Cell research, and Evolution, to scientific controversies and debunking pseudoscience, join host Karl Haro von Mogel as he separates the fact from fiction. Unlike any other science podcast, The Inoculated Mind also features the Sounds of Science, is set to the tune of science fiction music, and is brought to you by a different chemical each week. Featuring interviews from local scientists to international guests, plenty of time is taken to get down into the details that make science so great, yet care is taken so that the average person doesn't get lost in them.

Cleaning up the air has helped the warming of the Earth, and for our second climate irony of the show, a cooler climate may have made our brains bigger, and we're warming it back up! Also, there are new global maps of biodiversity and carbon dioxide emissions, and this year will be particularly bad for pollen allergies, too. Plenty of bee-autiful science, a new bee-powered poison alert system, and a new study on Vitellogenin shows how evolution has co-opted a reproductive gene to govern the division of labor in hives.

Followup on previous coverage of the Day that Science Stood Still - Senator Rick Santorum says that scientists that want to work on ES cells have no morals, a representative of the Bush Administration agrees that killing embryos is murder - yet gets put in a logical headlock by a question about why they don't want to close in vitro fertilization clinics, and "M is for Mistake" as White House spokesperson Tony Snow retracts the "Murder" label. Commentary on the indefensible and inconsistent logic used when discussing this issue politically. Neanderthal Genome to be sequenced, new research on the oldest strata in the world bolsters support for the presence of life, and shows that they may be older than the previously estimated age of 3.8 billion years old, and UF geneticists pin down some of the genetics and cell biology involved in the evolution of fins and limbs - co-option of vertebrae developmental genes to form fins supported. Sounds of Science - mosquitoes falling in love.
