WTP 157: Science and Poverty, Science and Islam, Cyberwar!, and Manhunt 2

Today’s podcast is half tech, half science. We’ll hear about some MIT researchers who are using scientific methods to help alleviate poverty. Then, a podcast exclusive interview about how science is, and isn’t, practiced in the Islamic world. Then, we’ll talk about the prospects of cyberwar: who can wage it, and why? And we’ll finish with a story about a new video game that’s getting bad reviews from British and Irish authorities. Have a great weekend!
