Three friends on a quest to blow each others minds - with science. Join Tara Silgram, Alec Wilby, and Dr Pip Clark as they explore different areas of science each week.
We look back over season 2, giving some updates, answering follow up questions, and reminiscing. Highlights include revisiting the cheese moon simulations - can we get it to melt this time? and Alec walks you through his highly requested pizza dough recipe. Yes this is a science podcast.
