Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, August 17th, 2020 and

I'm the host of the show Kara Santa Maria and this week I've got a great interview for you but

before we dive in I just want to thank our top supporters of the show.

So here's a big shout out to Junsopara, Christopher Pitts, Michael Goshé, Mary Niva, Pasqualee Jalati, Orica Hagman, Dutas Infinitas, David J. E. Smith, Charles Pay It, and Brian Holden. And of course I've been sending out some

thank-you's kind of not in person. I can't just show up to your door, but through the

mail. Again, to thank you so much for

your support throughout the years if you guys want to pledge your support to the

show you've just got to visit patreon dot com slash talk nerdy and you can learn

more all right this week we have a slash Talk Nurdy and you can learn more.

All right, this week we have a fascinating chat for you.

It's actually a guest that we had on the show

several years ago.

He's back and he's got even more info for you. Dr. Adam Rutherford earned his

PhD in genetics and now works as an author, a television presenter, and continues his work as a scientist in the UK.

You may have heard him on BBC Radio 4 doing two podcasts, BBC Inside Science and the Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry.

You also may have read some of his previous books that we talked about right here on the show but his newest book is the one that we dive into today.

It's called How to Argue with a Racist, What Our Genes Do and Don't Say about Human difference. And in the US it's available

starting August 4th 2020. Hey guess what? That's now. So pick up your copy and

you'll be able to learn an awful lot more than even we were able to dive

into in the short time we had to chat with one another.

Without any further ado, here he is, Dr. Adam Rutherford.

Well, Adam, thank you so much for joining me once again today.
