If you want to learn about umami, glutamate, veal stock and Auguste Escoffier, check out this story about Chapter 3 of my book on Morning Edition. It was a special thrill getting to do this with Robert Krulwich, who has long been one of my favorite science reporters.

The Free-Ride offspring are almost at the end of another school year, so we thought this would be a good time for them to think about some summer reading recommendations. Each of them chose two favorite books that have something to do with science. Below, they offer their kid-to-kid reviews.

I heard it in the car this morning! Good for my kids to get up late this morning so the timing was perfect. A very cool story!

I heard it on my way to work this morning as well! Close to the end, I heard a mention of "Proust was a Neuroscientist" and I finally clued into why this was a vaguely familiar topic. The ME segment was so fascinating that when I got to work, I sat in my car to listen through to the end. And now I crave veal stock . . . . . mmmmm, deliciousness.
Awesome! I've absolutely loved Robert Krulwich ever since I heard him on Radio Lab (if you're not listening to this show, you need to be), so needless to say, I'm jealous. Anyway, kudos.
