Isabella Rosellini stars in these gorgeous and bizarre bug sex videos. (She also wrote and directed these short films.) I will warn you, they are disturbing at times…but only in a nature-is-so-strange-as-to-be-utterly-unreal way.

Placebo Nation

Jonah Lehrer, a frequent Radio Lab contributor, had some interesting things to say on his blog about a topic we’ve explored, the placebo effect.

The boss IS funnier.
February 19, 2008 – 11:23 pm
When we were working on the Laughter episode, we ran across an interesting study about the relationship between laughter and power. Tyler Stillman, a psychologist at Florida State University, did a series of studies showing that laughter isn’t always about how funny something is. He found that when a boss tells a bad joke to […]

Six Degrees of Separation
February 5, 2008 – 6:21 pm
For our upcoming episode on Laughter, we kept coming across references to a 1962 epidemic of contagious laughter in Tanzania. But every scholarly article, every newspaper reference, every mention we found, seemed to just point back to the source - a 1963 article from a medical journal.
As it would happen, I was planning to […]
