The Title Should Be Breakfast

Summary: Chris and Rob are back together, amongst the spiders of Oxford. We’re talking breakfast, Mars, data mining, astrochemistry, cosmic rays (and Cosmic Ray), avalanches on Iapetus, WETI, gravy waves and the chirality of life. We may have the ultimate ACRONYM, we definitely have the Olympics and we discuss Rob’s bus. [MP3 Link] Episode #43.
