Mammals Suck on Skeptically Speaking!

Last week, I was interviewed by Desiree Schell on Skeptically Speaking, a radio show out of Edmonton, Canada. The program originally aired on Mother’s Day, but the podcast can now be streamed or downloaded here. We had a great time talking about functional development of the mammary, whether or not breast milk is that much better than formula, agenda-driven science, wet-nurses and allo-maternal nursing, misconceptions about breast-feeding, and the social contract of science funding. Good times! Following my interview, Kayt Sukel, author of Dirty Minds, is interviewed about the neurobiology of parenting. Check check check it out!

Also here is a belated "YAY Mothers and Allo-Mothers!" 

(FYI check out Kate Clancy's allo-mother post)!

I am pretty sure that this must be an artist’s representation 

of my mother and a baby me. 

UPDATE: If you don't have time to listen to the podcast, the interview got an awesome write up here with all the key take home points in their intended context. Yay!
