Summary

Here's the questions from this week's show, along with additional resources. What part of the brain controls the minds eye and what other functions are triggered by this same part of the brain? When the Mind’s Eye Is Blind Are "Carbon Offset" programs and companies legit? Is there a way to travel without increasing my carbon footprint? Should You Buy Carbon Offsets? Carbon Offsets Really Do Help Lower Emissions Is there any data to support the fact that reading a tangible, real ink and paper type book is better than reading from a screen? E-books versus Print: Which do we Retain Better? Is there science to say whether or not a transition like this could be caused but the drastic life change that came from the brain injury and therefore changed my views or is this something that occurred because of the literal neurons in my brain that were influenced by the brain trauma?

0:27.0	Welcome to Ask Science Mike, the weekly podcast where I answer your questions about well anything at all.
0:35.1	I'm your host Mike McCarick better known as Science Mike and I believe that every
0:39.3	sincere question deserves the space for an honest genuine answer. This is a space where we reward
0:46.7	curiosity and learn and grow together. So what do you say? Let's do one. Let's get it started. You may remember back in May that I was in the hospital for heart disease, specifically pericarditis and some associated
1:09.1	diseases.
1:12.0	And I was advised to take some rest and I did.
1:16.0	I was on medical rest for a couple of weeks.
1:18.0	And then I returned to work pretty quickly.
1:22.0	And it looks like I may have overdone it a little bit. I've been

1:45.8	There's nothing to announce yet.
1:47.3	It's just something I'm figuring out, but it has already had an impact on some of you because
1:52.1	we had to cancel the last four stops of the tabs and wafers tour,
