Comedians attempt to discover the latest news on neutrino detections, speculating neutrino types and their role in going beyond the standard model of fundamental physics, decades of observations of boson decay, high presicion calculations and anomalous (magnetic) moments for muons, along with irradiating pigs and having a c-section at the barber's shop (somewhere in Switzerland).
Comedians attempt to discover the latest news on (dis)organization, equations framing synchrony whether or not interspersed with erratic constituents, and solutions from tiny luminiscent insects, along with adventures in sailing the Caribbean and being a peace corps volunteer; also, being born on Feb. 29.
Comedians attempt to discover the latest news on radiation sources for bending magnet beamlines, creep behavior and degradation of high-temperature materials, cleavage of crystals, high derivatives of motion (like jerk, snap, and crackle) and what all these have to do with toughness and fracture surface energy.
Comedians attempt to discover the latest news on what makes sand soft, how space travel challenges are solved with origami, and the "pitch drop" longest experiment ever run
Comedians attempt to discover the latest news on some of the wonderful things that could happen when protein folding is messy, on dancing listening to genetic mutations, and also about... what it takes to be banned from Walmart. Save some laughs for the skit at the very end of the show!
Comedians attempt to discover the latest news on magmatic water,
super-eruptions, Virginia volcanoes, the (in)famous Mole Hill (cycle that!), and what happened when one (yes, Liz) dropped the world's oldest known mineral on the lab floor.
Comedians attempt to explain how supercomputers are used to explain quantum mechanical systems in liquid environments, why it's not clear whether cats are liquids or solids, how nowadays it's possible to make water out of thin air, and why supercomputers are able to argue back.
Comedians attempt to explain superconductivity, some cosmic sources for this phenomenon, X-ray holography, as well as challenging themselves (or you!) with spelling names with elements on the periodic table.
