Hosted by an Archaeologist, a Stand-Up Comedian, and a different Scientist every week, Science Faction is like a science-centered version of The Daily Show, except it’s much, much more offensive.
The guys are joined by Bill to talk about why inbreeding is killing one major group of orcas, the first ever penis & scrotum transplant, how people are getting UTIs from their dogs, and how fetal ultrasound has never been tested for safety.
The guys welcome back Dr Eva to talk about the BS behind the "science" of handwriting analysis, how a really common virus might be causing autoimmune diseases in humans, how cancer might actually save your life from something worse, and why having a big spleen can be so sexy.
In this special episode of Science Faction, the guys broadcast from The San Diego March For Science where they play 'I Call BS' with Margot Wohl from the KPBS show, Rad Scientist.
Dr Eva joins the guys to discuss how surprise influences the acceptance of new ideas, why cuts will heal faster in the daytime than in the nighttime, and a new monitor lizard discovered that has four eyes.
A brand new Scientist Guest-Host Alyssa joins us to discuss a gigantic and somehow newly discovered organ in the human body, how stem cells are an effective treatment for chronic binge drinking, and why female mice get sexually aroused by crying.
Bill joins the guys to discuss a 6-inch tall, alien-looking human body, how to pull your household water right out of the air, and how a super common "natural" essential oil can cause young boys to grow breasts.
Allison joins the guys to discuss an already approved cancer drug that seems to very effectively treat the social symptoms of autism, how a DIY laser was used to create nuclear fusion, how eating a slug ruined one teenager's life forever, and how many pygmies it would take to beat Shaq in a game of basketball.
Allison Gill joins the guys to discuss a discovery that may signal the end to autoimmune diseases, how LSD helps treat depression and PTSD, and a big science story that the science media is totally lying about.
Bill joins the guys to discuss how the Iceman uses simple breathing techniques to literally acquire super powers, why Space X hired a sniper to shoot its launch rocket with a high powered rifle, and why fat people with cardiovascular problems live LONGER after their diagnosis than their normal weighted peers.
Dr Gill joins the guys to discuss how scientists rewrote human history this week with a new DNA study, how we just found out that wild horses are extinct, why household cleaners might be permanently damaging your lungs, and why Iran has accused lizards of being nuclear spies.
