Star Talk is your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide. Today's topic is Born to Run. We're going to talk about running technique, ancient versus modern. And we go into the academic pool to find out who's actually thought hard and deep about this.
Why do humans have butt cheeks? Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, and Gary O’Reilly learn about the biomechanics of running with professor and running specialist Dr. Irene Davis, featuring Neil’s interview with author Chris McDougall.
