GBA 131 Carl

Summary: In GBA 131 we get better acquainted with Carl. He stops off in the middle of travelling around the world to talk neuroscience, culture, the merely real and share some stories of his travels. Carl plugs: "Have joy if you can in the merely real." "Do stuff while you can because there's a fine line between can and can't and you don't want to discover it on the wrong day."
