Liberal and Conservative Brains (video)


() Do liberals and conservatives have different brains? Is science in trouble in America? What is the point of "asteroid mining"? 

Senior Science Correspondent at The Huffington Post Cara Santa Maria (Talk Nerdy to Me) leads this week's panel to discuss these issues and more with Tim Lee Ph.D. (scientist turned comedian), K.C. Cole (science writer, USC journalism professor), and Max Lugavere (filmmaker, musician, science journalist). 

Special thanks to Chris Mooney (author of The Republican Brain), Linda Darling-Hammond (professor and author of The Flat World in Education Multicultural), and Phil Plait ("The Bad Astronomy" Blog) for sending in points.
