Steve and Caleb are back and in this episode, they are back to discussing science straight out of the gate. Steve has been reading research about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and he talks a bit about that. This leads to a discussion on the balance of perfection and practicality in science. Sometimes it is hard to figure out when enough is enough when designing an experiment. Sometimes the benefit is not worth all of the work it will take.

Next, the guys talk about some career options that are available with a biology degree. When Caleb and Steve were undergrads they weren't aware of all of the possible careers in biology. They also talk about presenting science at meetings. Steve is hoping to present his thesis research at an American Physiological Society meeting this year. Caleb also gives some advice on giving an interesting presentation.

Finally, they end with some speculation on the role of robots in society. Inevitably, they get on the "will the robots take over the world?" debate and Caleb picks his evil robot apocalypse weapon of choice. This is a fun science filled episode, check it out!
