Jest Tube

On a recent episode of the TV show 'Adam Ruins Everything', Adam takes on science - specifically, the drawbacks of mouse models, the bleak funding situation, and the reproducibility crisis. Krishna thought that many of his takes were either oversimplified or hot garbage so he rambles on that in the latest episode of the Jest Tube Podcas.

With Alabama being in the news recently, Krishna brings in Alabama native and stand-up comedian Peyton Clarkson to talk about a modern Southern nightmare – teaching evolution in schools. We cover the basics of evolution, why some people in Alabama are so resistant to these ideas, and some interesting and often overlooked quirks about evolutionary biology.

For the first episode Krishna is joined by Law Smith, a comedian, business/marketing expert, and host of the Sweat Equity podcast. With the help of Pedialyte, Law powers through a 'new dad hangover' to chat about the parallels between growing a business and a lab, the world of grant writing, and the challenges of public awareness of science. Law even manages to use a beer bong as a business metaphor. Recorded at the TocoWorks studio in Tampa, FL.
