Producer/host: Jim Campbell If you're intending to wander in to an electronics or appliance store this holiday season, you may think that they speak a different language there - and they do: it's called acronymeze. Don't worry, though, with your handy copy of this version of the Electronic Cottage, you'll be able to decipher what all those acronyms mean. Sadly, you'll still have to haggle about the price yourself.

If so, that might not be such a great idea. There are many kinds of bacteria, and many of those are of great use to us humans. Those that cause us trouble are only helped by our overuse of antibacterial drugs and substances. Kate Boettcher knows all about such things, and so will we after listening to this edition of Conversations on Science and Society.

Producer/Host: Jim Campbell Topic: Have you ever gone on an airplane trip to a place many time zones away, and for a few days after you arrived, felt a bit out of sync with your surroundings? Or maybe you have a difficult time adjusting to the vastly different amounts of light available in a Maine summer and winter - and this is the time of year you really begin to notice it. These feelings are a natural physical result of biological clocks built into our systems. Alan Rosenwater is our guest, and he has spent decades studying the phenomenon of circadian rhythms in animals and people.

So how does the sense of anonymity affect how people act online? Do people have different ethical standards for online and in-person behavior? That is a question that Sissela Bok begins this program with, and her reflections are sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing. She is the author of a number of books on contemporary moral issues, and none is more contemporary than this one.
