Con Charter of Mars
April 01, 2015 05:00 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MBAnthony and Jeff had such high hopes for Mars One - the non-profit offering one-way trips to the red planet to anyone willing to apply. But according to at least one high-ranking applicant, the entire endeavor looks like a scam. A flimsy selection process based on purchases and donations, no actual training, and no plan in place for the technology required to leave Earth's atmosphere. The guys work through their feeling about being denied the option to die in space. We Have Concerns is e...

March 30, 2015 05:00 - 19 minutes - 13.2 MBA scent-trained dog was able to identify the presence or absence of thyroid cancer in human urine more accurately than lab tests, which leads Anthony and Jeff to wonder how much faith they are able to put into "natural" remedies vs scientific ones.

Beetleuse
March 23, 2015 05:00 - 20 minutes - 13.8 MBResearchers have created remote-controlled crawling insects before, forcing a bug’s legs to move by electrically stimulating its muscles. But now, for the first time, the muscles that control flight in beetles have been identified, allowing the same technology to create remote-controlled flying bugs. Jeff and Anthony wonder how this breakthrough will be used, and long it will take to assemble the vast cyborg beetle army that will destroy us all. We Have Concerns is entirely listener suppor...
Not Really Thereomones
March 20, 2015 05:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MBIt turns out the idea of human pheromones, tiny molecules that can attract a mate, or make you more likable, are a total fabrication invented to sell perfume. While pheromones exist in goats and other creatures, there is no proof that human beings have them at all. Anthony and Jeff look into the strange, and surprisingly recent history of pheromone "science" and wonder how one company can single-handedly put a concept like that into the world.

Get Pissed
March 13, 2015 05:00 - 20 minutes - 14 MBThe residents of St. Pauli, a party district in Hamburg, Germany, were fed up with drunk revelers urinating on the sides of their buildings, so they turned to science to stop the behavior. Painting the most peed-upon areas with an extremely hydro-phobic coating effectively turned the walls into reflectors, bouncing the urine right back onto the culprits. Jeff and Anthony applaud the ingenuity, and wonder how many other problems can be solved this way. We Have Concerns is entirely listener...
The Spike Lobby Makes Good Points
March 11, 2015 05:00 - 18 minutes - 12.7 MBYou've heard Anthony and Jeff warn you about the far-reaching influence of the dreaded Spike Lobby. Now it gets real. An article in The Guardian outlines the numerous locations in the UK installing spikes in public places to get rid of homeless loiterers.

Blind Insight
March 09, 2015 05:00 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MBWith a headline like "Man Gets Bionic Eye, Sees Wife for the First Time in 20 Years", you might expect a tearful moment of feel-good sentimentality. But the truth of the moment, as evidenced by the article's embedded video, is much more honest and real about the state of technology. Anthony and Jeff applaud the headline's "man" for his genuine reaction, and make fun of media headlines for their self-congratulatory tone. We Have Concerns is entirely listener supported!

Welcome to the Jetpack Future
March 06, 2015 06:00 - 20 minutes - 14.1 MBThe New Zealand-based Martin Aircraft Company, now listed on the Australian stock exchange, is taking orders for the "world's first practical jetpack" and Jeff couldn't be more excited. But at $200,000 and at its current size, Anthony wonders if practical is really the right word.

March 04, 2015 04:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBThe mummified remains of a Buddist monk have been discovered inside a statue that dates back over 1,000 years.

Why We Can't Have Mice Things
March 03, 2015 07:57 - 22 minutes - 15.6 MBA new article on i09 describes animal behaviorist John Calhoun's quest to create the perfect mouse city, complete with abundant food, recreation, and even rodent apartments. Now referred to as the "Behavioral Sink", the utopian underground mouse habitat quickly degraded into an apocalypse, as the mice turned on one another and the bloated population died out. Anthony and Jeff can't help but see parallels to modern life, but also take a moment to consider what kind of guy spends his time at...
The No Deathbot Guarantee*
February 25, 2015 06:00 - 20 minutes - 13.9 MB*not necessarily a guarantee One robotics company, Clearpath Robotics, has promised never to make autonomous killing machines, and hopes all future tech companies will get on board with the no killer robot promise. Problem solved, right? Jeff and Anthony aren't so sure, and see a future where solemnly swearing with no take-backs might not be enough. This episode also features French robots, so there's that.

Hale Hydra
February 23, 2015 06:00 - 20 minutes - 14 MBThe tiny organism known as the hydra is a half inch tube of jelly that inhabits fresh water all over the world, and it may well be functionally immortal. What does that mean? Anthony and Jeff try to make sense of a creature that can re-grow any part of itself and live for thousands of years - and imagine what that might be like for them.

Spousal Recall
February 18, 2015 06:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBAccording to researchers at Macquarie University, couples in long-term relationships develop inter-connected memory systems. Each partner can remember only a few details, but together they piece together a more accurate whole, ostensibly off-loading parts of the job to the other. Anthony is intrigued by this, and what it means for replacing human interaction with machines, while Jeff wonders how much can just be attributed to laziness and coincidence. Hey!

Super Villain Face
February 16, 2015 06:00 - 20 minutes - 14.1 MBA Venezuelan man had his face surgically altered to look like the Red Skull - Captain America's arch-nemesis in Marvel Comics. His nose was removed, his brow was enlarged, his skin was reddened, and even his eyeballs were tattooed black. Jeff thinks this is horrifying and has very bad implications for the man's state of mind. Anthony thinks we only get one shot at life and if this makes him happy, so be it. Both of them wonder what his kid must go through at school. Hey! If you're enjoy...

Feels Like Forever
February 11, 2015 08:00 - 18 minutes - 12.6 MBWhat's more ethical: a life sentence in prison, or a drug that slows someone's perception of time to make them feel like they've spent 10 life sentences in a day? The question was asked last year by an Oxford University professor, but isn't the real question: if we could make a drug that let people do multiple lifetimes of thinking, why would we waste it on punishment instead of giving brilliant minds multiple lifetimes to solve human problems? Also what's it like to feel like you have an it...
Content with Content
February 09, 2015 06:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBSongwriter and youtube song-a-day artist Jonathan Mann has a new video online advocating for abolishing the term "Content Creator" for people who release things on the web. His position is that the term diminishes things designed to be distributed on the online, making them disposable. As individuals who have been described as "content creators" themselves, Anthony and Jeff discuss what this semantic change might mean, and why the desire to make quality creative endeavors on the web can be...

Two Birds With One Stoned
January 19, 2015 08:57 - 20 minutes - 13.9 MBA group of researchers studying the effects of alcohol on speech decided to get some birds drunk. They divided a group of zebra finches - birds that learn and produce sounds similar to humans - into two groups. One sipped pure juice and the other a mixture of ethanol and juice.

Do What You Scan
January 16, 2015 06:00 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MBA review led by a brain scientist at MIT found growing evidence that brain scans can predict future behaviors. If, one day, we are able to simply scan our brains to determine what kinds of activities we are more inclined to excel at, or problems we may encounter, will that lead to a healthier, more adaptive populace, or one shackled to in-born tendencies? Anthony and Jeff wrestle with that question, and try to predict what their own brain scans might indicate. This show is entirely listen...

Work the Planck
December 15, 2014 06:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MBAccording to quantum physics, Planck's Constant is the smallest unit of measure in the universe, beyond which nothing can be further divided. Scientists at the Fermilab are building a Holographic Interferometer, or Holometer, with which they intend to test this theory.
