It is Thursday the 15th of December 2016 and you're listening to Skeptics with the

KAD podcast for science, reason and critical thinking. Skeptics with the Kaye is a production

of the Merseys Skeptics Society, a non, a production of the Merseys Skeptic Society, a non-profit

organisation for the promotion of scientific skepticism on Merseys around the UK and internationally.

I am your host, Mike Hall, with me today is Marsh.

Hello.

And it's Lori. Hello. Oh. Sorry Mike I was just buffering.

Lorry on low bandwidth there.

Alice can't make it today because Alice has now handed in her

peeking thesis she's handed it in she has handed that over so she's reviving for her

viver because this is normal isn't it that you hand in your thesis and then a week

and a half later you have your

viver sometimes even less yeah is it really yeah no no it's normally like

many months isn't it yeah like two months so after after this torturous

procedure of Alice having to defer and work so hard to get her thesis in,

she's now like, right, when's the viver, week and a half?

Thank you, brilliant, yep.

So this should be the last show in which Alice isn't here and the last show in which she isn't a doctor as well technically although she won't graduate just yet.

They'll probably speed a graduation up. She'll fucking graduate on Christmas Eve at this point.

So Laurie, welcome back to the show. Thank you.

Still published in Nature?

Yes.
