| Quote of the Week |
When I was a kid, people wanted to be an astronaut. Today, kids want to be famous, and that's totally the wrong approach. You have to have authenticity in what you're doing. You have to really care about the core message of what you're saying, and then everything else will fall into place. |

(At some point in this episode, the Rogues mention the word/term consilience[v 1]. This is arguably a good word to have tagged for the vocabulary section.)

Email #1: Reading Systematic Reviews
Science or Fiction (1:28:40)
Item #1: A new analysis finds that the Cueva de Ardales in Spain, famous for its many cave paintings, was likely occupied by human ancestors for as long as 500,000 years.[6]
Item #2: In a prospective study, dogs were able to detect asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection with higher sensitivity than nasopharyngeal antigen testing, 97% vs 84%.[7]
Item #3: Scientists have developed a molecular drill that is activated by visible light and rotates at 2-3 million times per second, which can drill through bacterial membranes and can be used as a broad-spectrum, rapid-acting antibiotic for skin infections.[8]
| Answer | Item |
|---|---|
| Fiction | 500,000-year occupation |
| Science | Dogs better than antigen test |
| Science | Molecular drill |
| Host | Result |

| Steve | sweep |
| Rogue | Guess |

Bob | Molecular drill |
Cara | Molecular drill |
Evan | Molecular drill |
Jay | Dogs better than antigen test |
Voice-over: It's time for Science or Fiction.
