Justin: They say that they’ve contributed great – much more greatly than the Australian government’s flyovers of military helicopters and what have you. Japan for whom whaling is historically part of its culture, much like slavery was at the United States I guess, has plan to kill 850 Minke whales and 50 fin whales.

Under international pressure, Japan dropped plans to kill up to 50 humpbacks, beloved by the Australian whale watchers. They also have one, like albino humpback- that’s like the name that the tourist got to see all the time, and it was so frightening like –

Kirsten: Yes. To somebody who is going to kill it.

Justin: Going to kill their cash cow of the sea.

Kirsten: Tourist cash whale?

Justin: Yes. Last year, as well – Japan only killed a little – more than half of its intended catch, although at that point it was because a fire had damaged the mother ship and it was leaking oil into the arctic down there.

Justin: Disclaimer. Disclaimer. Disclaimer.

Now is not the moment to panic. Yes, there’s a war waging in the far off land. Yes, the economy tethering on the brink of an untold turmoil. Yes, the waging and the tether are taking native focus off the impending collapse of our fluctuating climate.

Yes, the content of the following hour of programming does not necessarily represent the views of University of California Davis, yes, the same goes for KDVS and its sponsors.

Yes, This Week in Science is in potential danger of becoming an evening commute, rather than morning drive time broadcast, but for Douglas Adam’s sake people, don’t panic.

The fact that we live at the bottom of the deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet, going around the nuclear fire ball 90 million miles away, and think these to be normal and not worth panicking about is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.

And should allow some level of comfort that things really are much stranger than This Week in Science, coming up next.

Kirsten: And we’re back.

Justin: With more This Week in Science.

Kirsten: With more This Week in Science. And on the line we have Dr. Michael Stebbins, and I’m having issues with the CD player so unfortunately I can’t get the CD –

Justin: Again no theme music!

Kirsten: Yes. The CD player says TOC error. TOC error. I don’t know what that means. So, no themes music today, so we’re just going to play what’s there and see what’s happens.

Justin: Yes.

There is no such thing as logic. There is no history to the world. There is no technology, no written word, and no art. There’s no intellectual progress of any kind, without science.

And without science, there is no reason for the University of California – Davis, KDVS as its sponsors, to point out that the views and opinions of the following hour of programming are not their own, because without science, there would be no sponsors, no radio!

Let alone a radio station, there would be no university, no Davis, no California. Luckily for all of us, science exists, science is real, and as proof, we offer you, This Week in Science, coming up next.

Justin: Science? Nuclear…?
Kirsten: [moaning].
Justin: …. nuclear science. And let them figure out a way to you know, saying things, I mean scientists to find a way to do the clean-up properly.
You spend the next 10, 15 years pumping money into the nuclear program to figure out how to clean the mess with bacteria with other sort of processes. And then you turn around you to do the clean-up in five years.
Kirsten: And make it proper that…
Justin: You know what I mean?
Kirsten: Mm mmh, so it is an interesting idea.
Justin: I’m saying go out to the science and technology first.
Kirsten: [laughter].
Justin: That will make the technology using the clean-up so much better.
Kirsten: In the meantime just put a big fence around it.
Justin: Well, I mean if it’ going to take another 40 years…
Kirsten: I know…
Justin: Forty year, anyway…

Kirsten: It’s really sad and it’s just, just, you think that we’ve come so far, but it’s still – it’s really interesting to think that this election, people are calling it, “historic” because we have on the democratic ticket so far we’re up for either an African-American candidate or a woman as a candidate.
 And everyone is saying, “oh this is, historic!” and it’s kind of sad. It’s just like “oh gee, here we are in the 21st century and it’s historic.” [laughs]
Justin: My friend’s daughter, she got into collecting coins with different presidents on them. She got really into that and then she was going through the collection then she was asking, “where is the… where is the girls?”
Kirsten: Yes where are they? Oh, in other countries. [Laughs]
Justin: [Laughs]
Kirsten: Other countries are ahead of us…
Justin: Right.
Kirsten: Also on that front. We have to take a break. Stay with us please for a few moments, we will come back for This Week in Science.

Justin: Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! The following hour of programming deals with science and claims to be harmless but may in fact cause you irreparable harm.
In laboratory conditions, direct exposure to science has resulted in a multitude of co-relatable adverse effects – mostly on mice.
