I love podcasts, especially if they have a science theme. One of my favourites is the Skeptics Guide to the Universe, and the associated blog, Neurologica (Dr. Steven Novella, author of Neurologica and host of the SGU, was kind enough to allow me to put one of his quotes on my website). I also love Quirks & Quarks, a home-grown, Canadian podcast/radio show on CBC, and Science Vs, a funny and quirky science show that I recently discovered. These podcasts have helped to teach me the power of science in helping us understand how our brains work, where our brains falter and how to think critically about ourselves, other people and the world around us. I have been an occasional guest on the Podcast, Family Law Now, speaking about Family Professionals in Collaborative Family Law. Check it out for more information about family law.
