So great
Dr Katie Mack is maybe the coolest person ever. She’s so good at explaining things. She’s made so many things I’ve tried to understand in the past click for me
Amazing!!!
This is just an amazing scientific popularization on this subject! I shared with all my friend and family. I wish to hear more every week.
Great show
The first two episodes are fantastic, please keep it going!!
I’d love an episode focussed primarily on the weak force. As a physics major from 20 odd years ago, it’s one thing I still struggle to wrap my head around.
