All Sides - 11-12-2024 B - Tech Tuesday - DNA reveals misconceptions about life before Mount Vesuvius' eruption
Over time, archeologists combing through the ruins of Pompeii came to certain conclusions about those entombed in the ash guessing at likely relationships and family ties.
Last week, with the use of DNA, researchers revealed that long-held assumptions missed the mark, providing tantalizing details of life before Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D.
When most of us picture a space satellite, we think of giant chunks of metal floating around in space.
But researchers say wood may represent the next frontier in sustainable materials.
Fed up with all the news? It may be time for a digital detox.
Guests:
Dr. Simeon Barber, space scientist, researcher and faculty member at The Open University
Steven Tuck, professor of history and classics, Miami University
Caitie Barrett, archeologist and associate professor, Cornell University
Emily Cherkin, screen time consultant/author
