A group of scientists think they can geoengineer the Arctic's melting ice, thickening it by pumping freezing seawater onto the surface during the winter.  Geoengineering is the large-scale – and often experimental – manipulation of the environment in an attempt to slow down climate change. The question is, is it mad science? Or our last hope?    Science correspondent Thomas Moore has visited the Climate Repair Unit in Cambridge, where they're attempting to thicken Arctic ice.

Our guest this week is Suzy Krause, a Canadian novelist whose book I Think We've Been Here Before is set in the few weeks leading up to the Christmas holiday in a small town in Saskatchewan.  This book is cozy but not in a way you would expect because something terrible is about to happen.  A cosmic event is going to end the world, and residents have several weeks to prepare.  But this apocalyptic story is hopeful and uplifting and makes you feel good.  How can you combine the end of the world with Christmas and make it comforting?  That's what we asked Suzy because she has written a book that is nothing like I've ever read.  It's like a little unexpected gift under the tree.    For our book rec section of this episode, we are talking about diaries. And no, we're not going to be reading from our diaries because that would be a snoozefest. We've selected both nonfiction and fictional diaries that allow us to get a sneak peek into a historic event or a situation that we don't know much about.    Books Mentioned In this Episode:   1- I Think We've Been Here Before by Suzy Krause 2- We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver  3- A Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy by Sue Klebold  4- The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K.

Finally, the definitive Marxist take on Lex Luthor. Just what we've all been waiting for. The strange flavor of 90s foreign intervention, the eventual goal of capitalist policing, and why you should never trust a homeless shelter (it's not what you think) all tie together into the stories of two of the world's most famous mad scientists - one a product of capitalism, the other a perpetuator. It's our final Superman-less issue. In a way.

In this wildly entertaining and surprisingly heartfelt episode of the Bug Bucks Podcast, Eric and Jake sit down with the “mad scientist of Syngenta” herself, Lisa Eppler. From studying parasitic wasps in Germany to field-testing herbicides for the Swiss EPA (no, she's not actually a spy… or is she?), Lisa takes us through her unique journey into the world of pest control.She dishes on:What it's like to freeze cockroaches (for science)Why under applying product can create insecticide-resistant superbugsHow a new active ingredient—Plenazoline Technology—could shake up the industryAnd how she raised Atlas moths from eggs during COVID (in case you thought you were productive during lockdown)Lisa also gets real about being a lifelong “bug girl,” her mission to demystify pest control, and why the U.S. industry's respect and openness toward the field makes it unlike anywhere else in the world.This one's part entomology masterclass, part global adventure, and 100% unforgettable. Whether you're a technician, business owner, or just a fan of creepy crawlies, you'll walk away smarter—and maybe even a little bug-obsessed.

As a multi-degreed polymath, Matt has been ahead of the curve on AI since MySpace was a thing. In this episode, we dive into everything from neuroethics and AI-powered mental health solutions to existential fears of Skynet ruining your day. Matt shares the real scoop on how AI can revolutionize diagnosis, therapy, and even the very definition of sanity—while hilariously lamenting the difficulty of spelling “rhythm.” If you've ever wondered whether AI is here to save the world or just mess with your playlist, this episode is for you.
