I went to the local March for Science today in Eugene. The starting point was on the U of O campus, and there was a great turnout. There was also a good diversity in the crowd. I took my portable mic for my phone and talked to a few people, from students and teachers, to astronomers and parents. Science is for everyone, not just lab techs. Listen to the show for my interviews, and keep your eyes and ears open for more about what you can do in the future. Advocacy doesn't get done with one march, it's a sustained effort that will carry us through.

This week I have an interview with Transhumanist Party presidential candidate Zoltan Istvan. We talk about why transhumanism needs a political element, the environment, universal basic income, and the future of the arts in a transhumanist world.

Also, news about a Chinese radio telescope larger than Arecibo.
