This week we invited Alex Shadie, a 23 year old student from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, doing a PhD in pathology – and loyal listener, to call into the hatch and fill us in on disease. What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day? How did diseases originate? Can we ever stop them? Are we a disease? And of course, what’s nuts about diseases? Find out now at earwolf.com

Hey guys, I’m a big fan of the podcast, but I was concerned with Kyle’s comments about over population and letting everyone die at 90, and not curing cancer because of over population. I think he needs to do some soul searching. Who is Kyle to suggest that others with diseases die off because there would be more room for him or his healthy friends? Scary mentality.
On a more fun note, I think it would be awesome if we could get “Craig” on the podcast to discuss how to survive in the wild.
