A full show today, with news, both local and global.  A big congrats to Space-X and their successful ferrying of humans to the ISS, just wow! Too bad about the Starship explosion, though it was half expected. Thanks to Monica McGuire for her report on our Santa Cruz City Council meeting, including plans for our slow re-opening of businesses locally.  

And a special report from Greg Panos on Augmented World Expo 2020, covering such topics as new VR/AR hardware, social spaces like Alt Space, spatial io, and Alt Space. And good to hear from Shane, an Australian listener who loves our show and bringing our attention to Dr. Douglas Gentile, a renowned media psychologist at Iowa State University.

Dr. Dan Beilin checks in with an update on Covid, with some good conversations between him, us and Bobby Wilder, our science journalist co-host. We all got so engaged with our discussion about Dr. Zack’s work with the microbiome, we forgot it was the end of the show! Enjoy..

It is the summer, we are on the road, but the show continues, as there are many new amazing things to report.  We were quite impressed with a paper by Zack Kanter entitled “How Uber’s Autonomous Cars will Destroy 10 Million Jobs and Reshape the Exonomy by 2025,” and spend some time discussing it.  

This is a big week for Virtual and Augmented Reality fans, with the AWE 2015 and E3 events unfolding.  To bring us up to speed here we have our favorite pundit Greg Panos on deck, to help us make sense of it all! Enjoy!
