Rising Sea LevelsMar 21, 201614mGuest: Mathew Hauer, Doctoral Student at the University of Georgia’s Institute of Government  If you’re living in coastal Florida at the end of this century, you may find your home underwater. And you won’t be alone. Rising sea levels could affect 6 million Florida residents, and another 7 million people throughout the coastal US. While scientific reports about rising sea levels are now nearly commonplace, our next guest says that scientists have dramatically underestimated the number of people who will be affected by the rise in sea levels.

FastingMar 21, 201618mGuest: Valter Longo, PhD, Professor of Biological Science at the University of Southern California  Folklore is full of stories of magic potions that magically restore youth. While the magic elixir remains elusive, new research suggests that there may be a way to trigger your body’s own processes to regenerate new, healthy cells and achieve measurable health improvements—maybe even extend your life. There’s no drinking of magic potions involved—in fact, we’re talking about quite the opposite: fasting.

Tech Transfer: Drone Tracking SoftwareMar 21, 201623mGuests: Randy Beard, PhD, Professor of Electrical Engineering at BYU; Dave Brown, from BYU’s Technology Transfer Office Remote-control flying robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, drones. Whatever you want to call them, they are huge among hobbyists and for commercial uses like videography or scientific data collection. We know they’re a big part of the current U.S. military strategy, too. Which is all just to say that one of the hottest research areas for engineering right now is honing the capabilities of drones.
