Please God. Do Not Do That.
It's science season! I made that up, but after talking to physicist Dr. Liam Bollmann-Dodd on last week's episode, this week host Jane Marie sits down with Dr. Chem Thug, a PHD chemist trying to do the good work of explaining chemistry online to the rest of us online in ways that we can actually understand. There will be some debunking. There will be some making chemistry interesting to those of us who slept through (and were subsequently kicked out of) Chemistry class in high school. And! There will be some serious "Please god, do not do that.", that many of us could use a healthy dose of.
