	S: And when you have homeostatic systems with feedback loops, selective pressures will very quickly bring it to an optimal state. I mean, you can't just game it. You can't just do something that's gonna throw off a homeostatic system like that. So you can't easily affect blood pH. Things that do that, things that alter your blood pH are generally considered poisons, and they'll kill you!

	C: Yeah, it's kind of like when you, you know, a lot of people don't realize this, but when you hyperventilate, the reason you want to breathe into a bag is not so that you can somehow get more oxygen, it's so you can recapture your ~~CO2~~.

	S: Yep		S: Yep

	C: When it goes, it's carbonic acid. So your blood will actually alcalyze if you hyperventilate. So you gotta recapture that ~~CO2~~ to keep your blood pH where it needs to be.

== Questions and Emails ==
=== Question #1: Political Opinions () ===
<blockquote>Hello! I wanted to start by saying how much of a fan I am of your podcast. I have been listening for four years now, and no matter where I am (I am an actor, and so move around a lot) you all give me a sense of place every week and remind me not to lose my objective mind. Sycophancy over. I had a question that struck me a while ago that I wanted to ask. In the last week it has become a clear burning issue and I wanted to hear your take on it. Essentially the question is: How do you manage to form objective political opinions about the world, when the source of all your information tends to be a media outlet with a narrative of their own? This seems very relevant in the wake of the Paris attacks regarding foreign policy, but I find it true of most political opinion. What are the sources you go to, as critical thinkers, to form your opinions about the world? I hope this finds you all well. Best wishes Harry Livingstone</blockquote>

== Science or Fiction () ==
[http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2015/11/23/earths-magnetic-field-just-returning-to-normal/ Item #1]: A new study finds that the Earth’s magnetic field is much closer to flipping polarity than previously thought and may happen this century.
[http://uncnews.unc.edu/2015/11/23/a-huge-chunk-of-a-tardigrades-genome-comes-from-foreign-dna/ Item #2]: After sequencing the genome of the tardigrade researchers found that about 6,000 genes, or over 17% of the tardigrade’s genome is composed of foreign DNA.
[http://www.nature.com/news/bionic-roses-implanted-with-electronic-circuits-1.18851 Item #3]: Engineers have made bionic roses, with transistors and electrodes incorporated into the leaves and stem, including a rose that can change color when an electrical current is applied.
