Episode Details

Learn about why a rising robot workforce may make humans less prejudiced towards other people; how studying a salamander that can regrow lost limbs could help us figure out how to help humans heal faster; and hormonal changes that happen in dads-to-be.  A rising robot workforce may make humans less prejudiced by Kelsey Donk Conrad, J.
