Description:
This companion to a Science Friday radio program includes segments on the physiology of bicycling (topics such as lung capacity, muscular endurance, and high-tech bicycling designs) and on taste buds. "New findings suggest that one taste bud may be able to sense both sweet and bitter tastes -- while sour and salty tastes are reported by a completely different mechanism." Includes audio clips and podcasts, and links to related websites, books, and articles. |
