Brain Dump

Our 'News to Us' takes a look at the future with 3D printed houses and a look at the past with the origins of the word 'buccaneer'.  In our first news story, we compare a sleep deprived Andrew to two African elephants and see who fairs better without shut eye (hint: it is not Andrew).  Then we focus on the world of the woolly mammoth with a study looking at the problems that faced the woolly mammoths inhabiting Wrangler Island 4,000 years ago.  The last thing we discuss is the media frenzy that broke out over woolly mammoth de-extinction this week.  Elyse has some strong feelings about the topic and stay tuned for a supplemental later this month partly about de-extinction.  As always, all the resources for this weeks episode will be on podcastbraindump.com and shoot us an email with news, comments, or corrections at podcastbraindump@gmail.com Thanks everyone for listening!
