Saving Ecosystems with Cutting-Edge Genetics

Guest: Michael Wert, Associate Professor, East Asian History, Marquette University, and author, “Samurai: A Concise History” The history of the magnificent and powerful samurai, a symbol of Japan, is actually much more complicated and nuanced than we realize. Women and children even had their place in samurai culture.

Guest: Michael Sadler, co-founder, The Republic of Booza Ice cream is, arguably, the most fun of all foods. But what if we could make it even more fun? For our weekly series "What's in This?", we call up  New York City’s Republic of Booza, where Jilbert El-Zmetr and Michael Sadler make and sell a traditional Eastern Mediterranean form of ice cream that stretches and twists like taffy.
