Should old acquaintance be forgot, and all that. We see out 2005 with a podcast that features Europe's first steps toward creating a satellite navigation system set to rival that old stand-by GPS. Also, a new theory on how bird flu spreads. And, as New Year's Eve approaches, we hear about a new law in Sweden designed to tackle what many consider a public health menace, binge drinking. All that, plus a ludicrously cheesy version of Rabbie Burns classic tune Auld Lang Syne. Here's wishing all of you a happy, healthy, and pod safe 2006.
