This week we have Dr. Gerald Pollack on the show, who is here to tell us about the role of electricity in weather - but to get there, we have to go all the way to the beginning and deal with the structure of the atom, the nature of charge, and what are clouds, anyways?

Let us know what you think of the presentation in the comments!

First interview with Dr. Pollack:    • The Strangeness of Ordered Water - Dr. Ger...

PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying microbial communication at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting and exploring the woods. Michael Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.
