Once a week professional comedians/incompetent scientists take you through this week in science. Incompetently. Your hosts are Matt Kirshen, Andy Wood and Jesse Case (the earlier episodes also feature the hilarious Brooks Wheelan). The always great guests may have little, if any background in the field, but that doesn't stop them from weighing in on the latest happenings and goings on in all things science.
