Description

Science educator Dan Riskin confronts David about being late for today's taping, then finds the time to actually talk about science stories on the show. Stories covered:

Orcas once hunted alongside humans, even those lineages are likely extinct;

The 64 year-old Taiwanese woman who had a jumping spider living in her ear; and

A new study showing how one particularly nasty parasite got its mind-controlling abilities.

The two briefly discuss AI, with David pondering whether biological parasites could infect computers in the future.
