Take our audience survey!!!
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…
Those that do not believe in science…
Don’t always replace it with something else…
Because, as they might tell you, they aren’t scientists…
And while there are many who would like to repeal science when it does not suit their interests…
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…

This Week in Science,
Coming Up Next…
Predatory Mice
Yup, scientists have figured out the neural pathways for predatory behavior in mammals, and can turn it on and off at will in mice.
