Just in time for Valentine's Day, join the Academy as we explore lust and love in the animal kingdom. After learning about the love lives of creatures ranging from dinosaurs to bonobos, you'll be able to decide for yourself if you really want to call yourself an animal in bed. Part of the Science and the Seven Deadly Sins Series.

Podcast
September 10, 2010
Can we all be wise old owls? Science journalist Stephen Hall and neuroscientist Andre Fenton dissect what we call wisdom, from the neurons in our brain, to the social constructs behind it.
Neuroscientist Richard Restak thinks with the right mental exercises, our brains can be much better. Today he teams with writer Susan Orlean to talk about our brainy potential.
With our economy a shambles and our environment threatened, is there any reason to be optimistic about the future? Matt Ridley says there's scientific proof to say we should be.
Biologist Stewart Firestein and world-renowned perfumer Christophe Laudamiel team up to tackle the science of smell.
