▶️ Hosts: Sura Hadi & Mike Ouren

📻 Between AI episodes, we took a detour - into Scotch rituals, comic book logic, nostalgic TV, science jokes, and what lab automation might smell like.

This Helical Brew Intermission brings co-hosts Mike and Sura into an unfiltered conversation covering everything from lab coat mottos to Friday movie quotes.

🔹 What if your science career was a comic book?

🔹 Can beer tasting be a scientific experiment?

🔹 What’s the real science behind IPA vs Belgian beer?

🔹 And if automation had a smell… would it be obsession?

🍻 Step off the AI superhighway and into a half-pint of insight and hilarity
