このコンテンツについて

Yackety Science shines a bright, but humorous, light into all of the darkest corners of the laboratory, the test tube, and the cyclotron. We find the comical in your cosmology, the droll in your hydrology, the booyah in your biology, and the golly-gee in your geology.Brian Cross and Matt Smith 科学

  • Episode 7: Boffo Brains and Bacterial Borgias
    2025/06/27

    In this episode, co-hosts Matt Smith and Brian Cross take on the tiniest assassins and the wanderlust of the North Pole. They say lego my LIGO in another installment of Disappearing Science, and they use their full brains to decry the unscientific silliness of Lucy in Yackety Science Ruins the Movies. And finally, geologist Claude Bolze stops by to talk trilobites, rock hunting, and the only natural way to cross the Arkansas River.

  • Episode 6: Xenon-Huffing Mountaineers
    2025/06/13


    Co-hosts Matt Smith and Brian Cross mix up a powerful cocktail of mamba venom and xenon gas in the headlines. Matt’s Chemical Minute reaches a premature climax with the ultimate element: carbon. And Brian visits the Sutton Avian Research Center to learn more about bobwhites, prairie chickens, and the history of shotgun ornithology.
