Dr. Caldicott provides a new eight-minute Fukushima update recorded April 20, describing how the multiple meltdowns in this unprecedented nuclear disaster are starting to sicken people in Tokyo. She then conducts an interview with Baroness Susan Greenfield, the former Director of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. She is a writer, broadcaster and Professor of Pharmacology at Lincoln College at Oxford University. Greenfield argues that we should be increasingly wary of how the changing technological environment is affecting the minds of the young.
