DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!
As we watch government leadership roles be replaced by new individuals
We must keep certain things in mind…
Knowledge in medicine,
Cannot be replaced with a spoonful of sugar
Without expecting a different result.
Just as…
An antidote for a poisonous snake bite
Cannot be successfully substituted with a snarky anecdote.
And, as everyone listening already knows…
You can’t substitute science with
Anything that isn’t science…
And that’s why, no matter the politics of the day
We won’t substitute the contents of this show with anything else…
We will always bring you…
This week In Science
Coming up next…

Human-Pig Chimeras!
They are finally here! Kind of…

The Science Curious
Kudos to all who enjoy TWIS! For you are the science curious. Turns out science curiosity can beat out partisan thinking.

Ancient peoples, modern peoples…
just peoples.

Pom pom crabs! Need I say more??
They steal their anemones from one another, and then unceremoniously rip them in half to make perfect, matching, cloned pom poms. They take the cheerleading captainship a bit too seriously i think…

Zombie hamsters
Cannibalizing terrifying hamsters a result of too much corn in their diet, and consequently not enough vitamin B… Guess I better put down these chiaaaaps…..
