This week on Bloggingheads.tv, my friend and colleague Carl Zimmer, one of America's top science writers and author of the new book "Microcosm: E. coli and the New Science of Life", talks with Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich on a range of subjects. Check it out, even if Ehrlich's apocalyptic predictions in "The Population Bomb" 40 years ago have not entirely come true (for more on that subject, read my story in Science a couple of years ago, "The Baby Deficit".)
