Popular Science Radio show

Summary: Do you want to be healthy? Get more fit? Live a long life? Today we’re talking all about different aspects of health with a great group of guests. At the start of the hour, host Alan Taylor brings on Chris Downie, the Founder and CEO of SparkPeople, and Dave Monahan, the President and CEO of FitLinxx, to talk about the SPARK Activity Tracker. Then, Dr. Nicholas Gutierrez joins the show to tell us about why there are restrictions on the types and numbers of fish we can catch. Toward the end of the show, we’re visited by Laura Helmuth, the Science and Health Editor for Slate Magazine, who tells us about what it takes to live a long life. We wrap up the show by finding out what’ll happen to our bodies if we donate them to science from Brooke Borel.
