Who’s That Noisy Segment #3. Your Question and E-mails Question #1: Regret and Gender Affirming Care Segment #4. Science or Fiction Each week our host will come up with three science news items or facts, two genuine, one fictitious. He will challenge our panel of skeptics to sniff out the fake – and you can play along. Theme: Proteins #1) “Hero” proteins in humans are heat-resistant long-lived proteins that have no direct function themselves but help keep other proteins from clumping and causing cell aging. #2) The longest known protein in vertebrates is called titin, which can be 350,000 amino acids long. #3) The median half-life of human proteins is 8.7 hours. Segment #5. Skeptical Quote of the Week "America is the only country where a significant proportion of the population believes that professional wrestling is real but the moon landing was faked." David Letterman
