In episode 23, Tom, Morgan and I return to our roots of shooting the scientific breeze, ranging from de-extinction to the ... interesting things ... that people ask us when they find out what we do. Plus, for bonus points, you can play the Breaking Bio drinking game!

In episode 22 we talk with @JohnRHutchinson, who does awesome biomechanics work on big animals (NOT just dinosaurs).  Ever wanted to know what it's like to get a look at an elephant's intestines?  He's your man.  Also, this is Heidi's first episode as a regular cohost of the show!  As you'll see, she fits right in.
