A big shot of info about vaccines
Kudos to Dartmouth's Dickey Center for putting on one stage eight experts on disease, vaccines, and government health policy. The topic? How society can stem the tide and shore up vaccine confidence. "I don't think we're going to fix social trust," says Dartmouth Professor of Government Brendan Nyhan. "...We have to think about the [influencers] in people's social networks they trust—the health care, religious, and business leaders they trust and mobilize them."

Episode 26 – Beyond Goodnight Moon: Board books for infants and the people who love them!
The bookstore owners had fun thinking about books for the youngest among us and the people who love them, which led to a debate about who are board books really for -- kids or adults?
