Sehr gute Folge von #behindthescience über Batterien gehört.

Fand vor allem gut vom Experten zu den Argumenten für und gegen das Auto. Auch die Aussage, das beide Ressourcen verbrauchen, aber Elektroauto im Vergleich zum Verbrenner um Welten besser abschneidet.

Seit dem Tröt von @astrodicticum zum #podcast #behindthescience bin ich am Nachhören der Folgen.

Bin bei der Folge über die Erfindung der #barbie gelandet. Interessante Geschichte über die Entstehung und noch viel interessanter die Studien über Barbie.

zB.: Barbie kommt eigentlich aus Deutschland (Bild Zeitung #wtf) und wurde von Ruth nur besser in USA vermarktet.

Hört am Besten selber rein:
