  1. Pi

    2015. 03. 09.

    Pi

    An Epic π day is coming up - 3/14/15 9:26:54 makes the first 10 digits of π. In this episode, we look at the history and cool facts about pi. Extra stuff: Here's a picture of how to lay out that string that Cody Buntain describes. https://www.flickr.com/photos/90859298@N00/16580244208/ Why did I say the epic time on Pi Day is 3/14/15 9:26:54 when the 10th digit of pi is 3, not 4? Because the first 11 digits are 3.1415926535 and if you round the 10th digit, you get 4, not 3! Jen’s Key Lime Pi Recipe 1 can of sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup key lime juice 3 egg yolks 1 graham cracker crust Preheat the oven to 225. Add everything but the crust to a blender, and blend until it’s smooth and well-mixed. Pour it into the crust and bake for 15 minutes until it’s set. Let it cool to room temperature and then refrigerate it until chilled. Serve topped with lots of fresh whipped cream.

    The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study

    In this episode, we talk about the Morris Animal Foundation's Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. It's the largest observational veterinary study ever conducted. 3,000 dogs (including my two goldens!) will be followed their entire lives in order to learn about the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to canine cancer and other diseases. We speak with Dr. David Haworth, veterinarian and CEO of the Morris Animal Foundation, about this remarkable study. More information about the Morris Animal Foundation is here: http://morrisanimalfoundation.org/ If you don’t have a Golden Retriever, but you want to support this research, consider donating to the Morris Animal Foundation! More about the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, including links to sign up your dog, is at http://caninelifetimehealth.org/ The songs excerpted in this episode are: “Golden Retriever” by Super Furry Animals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7M10Akohu0 "Golden Retriever” by Miss Li https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecVzhSmwPz4 Send comments to me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/jengolbeck Check out our website: http://becausescience.info Subscribe on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/because-science!/id950491621?mt=2 or on Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/becausescience/
