Boffin Eileen is back! This time she’s perfectly adequately answering Marko’s burning questions about what the nukes can do to us, and addressing Corrigan’s skepticism about regulating our nervous systems! Plus, an impromptu tribute to Catherine O’Hara.
Highlights:
[0:00] Eileen talks about the truly horrific effects of radiation sickness
[58:40] Eileen explores how much we can regulate our own nervous systems, and what it really means to be “dysregulated”
