In the studio this week: science writer Dr. Michael Brooks discussing his new book 13 Things That Don't Make Sense: The Most Baffling Scientific Mysteries of Our Time. We talk about death, life, the placebo effect, homeopathy, and whether it's better to have your article appear before or after the Playboy centerfold. Dr. Brooks holds a doctorate in quantum physics, is an editor at New Scientist, and his writing has appeared in the Guardian, Independent, and Observer.
