Want to know what the heck Nyet studies and reads on a daily basis?
Here's a great podcast: The CBC's How to Think About Science (Here's link to mp3 downloads of the podcasts, and you can always subscribe to it in iTunes). I've listened to the first couple of episodes (Schaffer and Daston), and so far it's quite excellent. It's been primarily sociology stuff thus far - not so much philosophy / epistemology / cultural trends stuff I aim to do - but it will give you a solid flavor of what's going on. Plus, the second one may have the most exact archetype of "annoying academia voice" I have ever heard - her take on prima facie is first rate.
Seriously, people, listen, you will dig this, and it will undoubtedly sharpen your concept of "what science is" in the 21st century.
Week in review, Ultimate review, coming later.
