All of our Mice are Broken. On this episode of [[The Portal Podcast|The Portal]], [[Bret Weinstein|Bret]] and [[Eric Weinstein|Eric]] Weinstein sit down alone with each other for the first time in public. There was no plan.


There was however, a remarkable story of science at its both best and worst that had not been told in years. After an initial tussle, we dusted off the cobwebs and decided to reconstruct it raw and share it with you, our Portal audience, for the first time. I don't think it will be the last as we are now again looking for our old notes to tighten it up for the next telling. We hope you find it interesting, and that it inspires you younger and less established scientists to tell your stories using this new medium of long form podcasting. We hope the next place you hear this story will be in a biology department seminar room in perhaps Cambridge, Chicago, Princeton, the Bay Area or elsewhere. Until then, be well and have a listen to this initial and raw version.

Returning sponsor Blinkist is an important company, having solved the problem of how book people can remain book people. We're on our smart phones all day long and that habituates us to smaller attention spans, but we still know we want to read books. How do we decide where we're going to invest, then? Blinkist has a team of close readers and expert writers who fan out over great nonfiction titles and summarize them into 15-minute condensed summaries. We can either consume that through text or through audio and decide where we want to spend our attention. In fact, I looked at my friend Tim Ferriss's book, The Four Hour Work Week, which tries to teach people how to be hyper efficient. So there's a certain irony in this. They did a great job. So with Blinkist, you're always getting the ability to figure out where you want to do your reading and if you don't want to read a particular book, you get to keep the summary in your head as an excellent index of what people are talking about when they're discussing the book, even if you didn't read it. So, right now, for a limited time, Blinkist has a special offer for our audience. Go to blinkist.com/portal and try it free for seven days and save 25% off your new subscription.

[[All Episodes]]
The Portal is thrilled to welcome back returning sponsor, WineAccess. Now in my family's own tradition, we are more or less mandated once a week to drink. And this gives me the confidence in the era of car service apps to ask the question, is it possible you're actually getting behind in your drinking? Are you having enough belly laughs? Are you breaking out the guitars, breaking into songs? Are you dancing with people you love or at least trading stories to bring you closer together. A great bottle of wine is a way to slow down and get off your phone. It marks time and lets you know something important is happening. Now our friends at WineAccess have an interesting philosophy. They take the most famous vintages and the most famous vineyards and they say, “Can we replace this at a fraction of the cost by sending out our team of geeks to scour the globe for offbeat opportunities?”. They also send you information to let you know what kind of wine you're getting so you're better educated for the next time you want to repeat the event. With wine access dot com slash portal, you're going to get yourself one hell of a bottle, with wine access dot com slash portal. So why not order them bottles tonight. You get $100 off and support the show by going to wineaccess.com/portal. You'll be glad you did.
