Minner meg om den _fantastiske_ #Radiolab-episoden «Dakou», som omhandlar dei kasserte og dels øydelagde kassettane som blei sendt frå Europa og Kina som råmateriale til gjenvinning, men i staden solgt på svart og gråmarknaden som ufullstendige musikkalbum: radiolab.org/podcast/mixtape-d #PodcastTips

Today I learned that people with uteruses are not the only people capable of growing a placenta. Everyone can do it!

More specifically, everyone has *already* done it. The placenta, as it turns out, is grown by the fetus, not the mother, starting just a few days into pregnancy. (Source: RadioLab). I think that’s a fun fact.

Now that I know this fun fact, I find myself wondering if I could perform this feat again. Spending the next few years in a comfortable hugging sack that provides all the support, warmth, and nutrition I need sounds like a really good option nowadays.

“A story that starts small and private, with one woman alone in her bathroom, as she makes a quiet, startling discovery about her own body. But that small, private moment grows and grows, and pretty soon it becomes something so big that it has impacted the life of every person reading this right now… and all that without the woman ever even knowing the impact she had.” (2010 rebroadcast)

Sometimes, while listening to an episode of @radiolab, I go like "oh, fsck". This is one of those episodes.

An atheist bone marrow donor ends up being matched to, let me put it mildly, a christian evangelist. She saved his life. Lots of hard work by lots and lots of people saved his life. A series of random events on both sides of the story saved his life. What does the guy do? Exactly what you are thinking.

Radiolab does a good job representing the tension that raises from the situation.

It's well worth a listen.

I am so very glad I never donated to @NPR and now I will never donate to NPR. So much schadenfreude listening to #WNYC's fall pledge drive and their talking heads saying, "Oh no, we're not hitting our goals!"

"Good." was all that went through my mind. Play some Lake Woebegone slashfic about ketchup and wry, snarky """science"""" on #Radiolab.
