April 08, 2016Episode 63 - "I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night"
We spend a lot of time working with our hands, in fact that’s why we can do science at all. It’s shocking the amount of science ignorance and lack of skill floating around. This got us wondering we are bad at science and where the practical skills we have are going. Then we found some articles!
