We're coming in hot and a week late with this fire episode of Reel Science! The Boyz ventured into the bowels of Amazon Prime to view The Andromeda Strain, and delight in its special brand of 1971 techno-thrills. Listen in as we recount the tale of Ruth, super scientist and sass extraordinaire!
We compare and contrast the reactions of Team Wildfire to an alien disease with the (thrilling) drudgery of modern disease identification, discuss safety protocols and biosafety levels when studying pathogens, and Pace gives us a explanation of prion diseases! As a bonus, Sean places a curse upon our podcast forever by opening a Crystal Pepsi during recording, making for a riveting two minute segment of audio content.
Since this episode got out a week late, there will be another episode out next week on Dec. 19th! We're sitting down to watch the James McAvoy vehicle Split, so get at us with questions!
