[Phys-l] science on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

[John Denker <jsd@av8n.com>]

Most of The Daily Show last night was science-related. That's unusual.

IMHO the show is worth paying attention to, because it both reflects
and influences public opinion.

As usual, the coverage was funny and sarcastic, but also informative.

Topics included
 -- the recent article debunking climate-gate (*)
 -- the lack of TV coverage thereof
 -- interview with Harvard cosmologist and particle physicist Lisa Randall

You can watch the episode online at

It will also probably be rebroadcast on cable later today, if you want
to catch it that way.  As they say, check local listings.
