  The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe also discussed the 80,000 year old clonal tree in a recent episode (I think the latest?). http://www.theskepticsguide.org/podcast/sgu http://www.theskepticsguide.org/podcast/sgu

    Another Skeptic's Guide listener on HN! I've posted various comments linking to SGU segments or Steven Novella posts, but I have yet to see anyone else do so.

      I heard about it here, actually, in some podcast thread a year or two ago. It rapidly became my favorite podcast. 90 minutes every week!

        I actually stumbled on it 4 years ago while having a discussion on HN. I was looking for explanations on the biological approach to mental illness: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5829068 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5829068

          Heh heh, how on Earth did you dig that comment up?

            HN's search function is good! I just looked for "scott_s Steven Novella", changed it to look at comments (default is stories, which, unsurprisingly, there are no hits), then sorted by date. It's usually easy to find a comment you or someone else made by just searching for the username, then some keywords.
