Six Degrees welcomes Reno's brother on their 79th episode! Chris is like Reno but with less Reno and more Chris.

This episode is a collection of articles demonstrating how amazing - and how terrifying - science is getting: reattaching legs backwards, growing brains with Neanderthal DNA, getting pregnant by eating undercooked seafood...it's a strange and beautiful world we live in.

Also, a shout out to Jason Ryerson, one of our listeners who met Reno recently :D
