    The AMOC Is Not Boring

    The AMOC Is Not Boring

    Sorry to leave you hanging last month, but we've got one final episode to round out the first season of No Such Thing As Boring!
    The AMOC - it's an acronym that stands for "how the ocean moves around the world," but is it interesting?

    Siliceous Ooze Is Not Boring

    Siliceous Ooze Is Not Boring

    As an actual deep-sea biologist, Craig is a bit of a ringer in this episode, but Eden holds her own with a vast wealth of last-minute Wikipedia knowledge. Siliceous ooze may be a fancy name for deep-sea mud, but don't be fooled by its humble, drab appearance!

    Clouds Are Not Boring

    Clouds Are Not Boring

    Craig insists that clouds are pretentious, but Eden thinks they might be more, shall we say, down to earth. More than something to gaze at dreamily from your checkered picnic blanket, clouds have a lot going on, and are definitely not boring. Or pretentious, Craig.

    Moles Are Not Boring

    Moles Are Not Boring

    **Apologies for the occasional crackly sound! We promise it won't happen again**
    We're not talking about the cute burrowing creature, or the mark on your face, or the spy embedded in your organization... no, we're talking about the abstract chemistry measurement, and it'll take more than bad chemistry puns to make this subject interesting.

    Sample Size Is Not Boring

    Sample Size Is Not Boring

    You're just going to have to trust Craig & Eden that sample size - a crucial component of experiment design - is not boring. In fact, spoiler alert, there would be no Guinness beer without it! Or, you know, medicine and stuff.

    The Krebs Cycle Is Not Boring
