Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
In the recent live someone mentioned the different sleep patterns we've had in the past. It was one of those strange coincidences to me as I'd recently learnt that visiting Little Moreton Hall in England. Built in 1504 and decorated in the great hall with this plaster work celebrating a book written by Robert Recorde (he invented the Equals sign). The book was about the split in human thinking, reasoning, belief...science and magical thinking. Nothing's really changed has it and I'm still wondering what they did when they got up in the middle of a dark, cold night with no electricity to do some chores.
