This week's episode of Books and Ideas is a discussion of the book Challenging Nature: The Clash of Science and Spirituality at the New Frontiers of Life, with author Lee M. Silver of
Princeton University. I have inserted it into the Brain Science Podcast
feed so that listeners can sample my second podcast. If you are already
subscribed to both podcasts this will be a duplicate, which you can
delete.

Kanzi and Sue Savage-RumbaughThis is the first interview episode of the Brain Science Podcast. As a follow-up to #6, I had the opportunity to interview Stuart Shanker, PhD, one of the co-authors of The First Idea: How Symbols, Language, and Intelligence Evolved From Our Primate Ancestors to Modern Humans .
I really wanted to talk about the implications of primate research, but he also tells us more about his work with autistic children and how he thinks what we are learning about brain development will enable early intervention and improved outcomes for children with autism and other learning disabilities.

In order to maintain the high quality of both podcasts I am going to cut Books and Ideas back to twice a month, and publish it on the weeks that I do not put out a Brain Science Podcast.
The next episode of Books and Ideas will be out around February 1st. It is about the book Genereation: The Seventeenth-century Scientists who Unraveled the Secrets of Sex, Life, and Growth by Matthew Cobb.
In the meantime, I will be posting a short review of Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen at http://booksandideas.com.
I have posted the latest episode of my Brain Science Podcast. It is a discussion of memory based on the autobiography of pioneering neuroscientist, Eric R Kandel. Even if you don't listen to podcasts I recommend this book as a great introduction to the principles and history of neuroscience.
The Brain Science Podcast feed is available here.
In the second part, I will also reveal the Worst Book of 2006 and also the best audiobooks to go to sleep by.
Both of my podcasts (the Brain Science Podcast and Books and Ideas) are now in the iTunes™ Music store. I would appreciate anyone who has time to post a review there.
Also, I am planning to attend Podcamp-Atlanta and I am hoping to make contact with other podcasters from Alabama.
New episodes of the Brain Science Podcast© and Books and Ideas© have just been posted. Please visit the websites for more information and to find links for subscribing or listening to the podcasts on your computer.
I would appreciate your comments and suggestions.
My goal was to launch the Brain Science Podcast in November. I got episode 00 recorded but it still needs a little more editing. Meanwhile, I have finished episode 00 of my other planned podcast, Books and Ideas, so I am posting it here.
I have chosen a webhost for both of these podcasts but I am still sorting out how to set up the feeds. I will keep you posted. As always, your feedback and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Meanwhile, yesterday I had some time with my MacBook™ and no internet access so I worked on my homepage in iWeb™. If you haven't been there I hope you will visit it. The only problem with iWeb™ is the pages tend to load slowly. Even so I have lots of great pictures there especially of beloved pets from the last 20 years.
In addition, although I usually do my blogging here, I did post a brief review of Daniel Dennett's classic, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, which I recommend if you have any interest in evolution.
