Should You Eat Like A Caveman? Plus — 10 Years of Science Vs!

Hi. I'm Wendy Zuckerman, and you're listening to Science Versus. And you know what's absolutely bonkers? I've been saying those words to you all for ten years. That's right. This show that you are listening to right now, Science Versus, it's celebrating its tenth birthday this year. And so a few months ago, we invited you, our listeners, to send us some voicemails with your thoughts on the show. My name is Oliver. I am from Mexico. This is Molly from Denver, Colorado. My name is Elaine, a Brazilian biologist living in New Zealand. Just wanted to leave a message here to express my appreciation of your show.

To those who were eating more fiber and doing more journaling, thanks to our episodes, I hope it's working for you and that your poos in your mind are feeling better.
