Since taking over for disgraced county executive John Leopold, Laura Neuman has tried to clean house in scandal-scarred Annapolis. In addition to making staff changes to build a new administration, Neuman removed a secret system of 500 cameras that her predecessor had had installed in county office buildings. Neuman has been on a tour of the county to meet residents and public officials, and joins us for her first interview on Midday.
Have you ever had a fit of the hiccups or found yourself yawning and sneezing and wondering what your body was up to? Why does tickling make us squirm and giggle? University of Maryland Baltimore County professor Robert Provine has studied the behavior and physiology of our bodies’ mundane actions in an effort to explain them. He is the author of Curious Behavior: Yawning, Laughing, Hiccuping, and Beyond.
This month marks the centennial of the death of Harriet Tubman, the legendary abolitionist who helped slaves escape to freedom. We examine her incredible life with one of the nation's leading Tubman biographers, Kate Clifford Larson, author of Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman, Portrait of an American Hero, and consulting historian and curator of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park and Visitor Center; and Anthony Cohen, who conducts tours along the routes of the Underground Railroad. Cohen is president of the Menare Foundation, a group preserving the legacy of the Underground Railroad.
Last month, a fireball exploded over Russia, destroying buildings and injuring more than 1,200 people, the result of a meteor hitting the Earth's atmosphere. The same day, an asteroid half the size of a football field came within 17,200 miles of the planet. So what's the risk of the human race going the way of the dinosaurs? What technology do we have in place to track giant space rocks? Our guest: Ed Lu, a former NASA astronaut and CEO of the B612 Foundation, which is building one of the largest telescopes in the world to discover, map, and track asteroids whose orbits approach Earth. Also joining us: Hal Weaver, planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and Midday on Science contributor John Monahan.
