The Birds and the Bees

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Today we’ll have an on-air barbeque taste test with two famous pitmasters. Then, the phrase "bird brain" is used as a put-down, but we’ll talk to a leading neurobiologist and a cognitive scientist about the parallels between human and bird brain development. We’ll go an expedition to discover the origins of the universe by using a telescope in a balloon...with filmmaker Paul Devlin and a scientist. And we'll hear the latest on the Iranian elections from Christiane Amanpour in Tehran. Plus, Please Explain is all about bees.

RSVP to the Lopate Show’s Projections screening of "Parting Glances" on June 16th at WNYC’s Greene Space here: projections@wnyc.org
