- Episode 2: Sure, Sure, Sure, Let's Go with That | E3 & E4 of The Flash
The four states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and DNA that can sublimate into a gas, right? We discuss the probability that a person could turn himself into a gas cloud and how difficult it would be to cure hydrogen cyanide poison. Then we segue into talking about Nicole’s favorite villain, Captain Cold, and what we like to call (and this is the scientific term) “absolute zero nonsense.”

Weirdly, you can reach negative temperature that are "colder" than absolute zero but not actually colder than absolute zero

56 min - Episode 1: That's Not How Stem Cells Work | E1 & E2 of The Flash
It’s the origin story of our favorite red speedster, the Flash! First, we talk about the real-life effects of lightning strikes on the body (spoiler: you probably won’t get superpowers, but you might get psychic powers?) and tornadogenesis. Then we discuss the fascinating field of therapeutic organ cloning, as well as the less fascinating field of employment contracts.

About That's Not How Science Works
From the publisher's feed
Join hosts Caitlin and Nicole as they snark about science in media and discuss why it's good, bad, or just plain ridiculous. TNHSW is using the CW TV show The Flash as a case study for bad science in…
media, and Caitlin and Nicole are skewering, I mean critiquing, the science in The Flash two episodes at a time. (Nicole would like to take this moment to offer to show the writing team of The Flash how to use Google should they stumble upon this podcast.) However, in between Caitlin suffering/Nicole schadenfreuding through The Flash, TNHSW also covers a variety of media genres, from movies to non-Flash TV shows to books. When Caitlin and Nicole can con them into it, TNHSW also features special guests who provide their real-life science and engineering expertise to the podcast. Basically, TNHSW is like a TED talk, if the presenters were unfiltered and had an unhealthy obsession with Barry Allen. Come for the sarcasm, stay for the cool science facts.
