DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!
Those that do not believe in science…
Do not believe because they lack education on how shit works…
Those that do not believe in science…
Often do believe that aliens visit the planet in flying saucers and frequently abduct people with tractor beams of light…
Which is ironic because that would take a shit ton of science on the part of the aliens…
Those that do not believe in science…
Sometimes prefer supernatural explanations for things…
On the 700,000th day the flying spaghetti monster did create hi speed wifi…

Don’t always replace it with something else…

There is no replacement for reality…
The following hour of programming is not intended turn you into a scientist
Or even teach you science
But the stories we bring can keep you informed…
And we do believe in that…
here on
This Week in Science,
Coming Up Next…

Two female zebra sharks in an aquarium somehow decided to become asexual and have babies by themselves.
Scheduling leisure time makes it less fun.
So, let’s hang out next weekend, I mean, if you think it would be fun, but only if you think it would, and only if we don’t plan anything… Wait… Forget it…

Science says! Caffeine might actually reduce inflammation.

Aside from salmon the majority of fish tested in an analysis of sushi in the LA area was not what it said it was.
Drink Tequila!
It’s good for bats!
