I forgot to update about last week's SoT, so I'm doing the double whammy here.

Science on Top 10 - Bee Skeptical was, obviously, our tenth, and probably most astronomy-oriented episode. Lucas really got into these topics! Download here.

Topics:
Exoplanets that don't have stars.
** Are we in danger of being hit by one?;
Malaria infection can prevent further superinfection;
Dark energy confirmed
**NASA Gravity Probe Confirms Two Einstein Theories;
OH NOES MOBILE PHONES ARE KILLING BEES! How an inaccurate meme spread
**Still no link...
**A rant about bad science reporting

**********************************

Science on Top 11 - If it doesn’t have wings, it shouldn’t fly was very enjoyable for me, mostly because it talked about bacteria! I miss those little critters. Download here.

Topics:
(Now I feel like an arsehole for enjoying this episode...)The EHEC epidemic in Europe
**The latest;
A new theory about Hawaii's volcanic activity;
Bacteria may create more hailstones than dust particles do;
Stomach ulcer-causing bacterium might have a role in Parkinson's diesease;
Did the Sun cause the mini Ice age? Or, the intersection of geology and politics;
VAle Spirit the Mars Rover, now officially deemed dead.

'Til next week!
