Show Notes
On The Science Appliance, evolutionary biologist Dan Riskin drops in for a podcast-only bonus episode of The Last Show. Dan talks about his upcoming – or perhaps current? – trip to The Galápagos Islands. The two discuss how neuroscientists found that musicians feel pain differently from the rest of us. Taping the show in advance of its release, David and Dan suffer from temporal displacement issues and can't wrap their heads around when "now" is.
