Gregory Benford – Audio Interview

onJun 5, 2006 @ 11:37 PDT

We managed to grab Gregory Benford, one of the speakers at the Skeptic’s Conference, over dinner on Saturday. You can listen to the 7-minute podcast here.

You’ll hear his explanation of UVB-Chaff – a proposed solution to warming on our planet (also a way to prevent lots of skin cancer).

Check it out and we’d love to hear your thoughts!
