Gird your loins, it's down 2.

Welcome to the comedy science podcast that leans heavily on the comedy as it wriggles away from the hideousness of science.

This week we have a lot to try and get through...

Vector and Scaler - Ron tries to use a metaphor that Laura should understand and discusses driving from Brighton to Taunton to try to get Laura to understand. It makes things much much worse. Like smearing mud all over your magnifying glass to try and get it to help you see more details.

We revisit forces and that goes exactly as well as you’d imagine. Some proper classic sibling science squabbles. But then they make up and really lose it over Laura’s inability to speak whilst thinking about fake horses.

Be warned, this is going to make you want to watch Despicable Me due to the immense use of the word Vector a la Vector.

Cheese Pipe of a Man

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where Somerset science siblings Laura and Ron embark on the GCSE science curriculum together with Ron in the teaching seat and Laura hastily trying to learn...

This week Laura and Ron start off with a weird energy, then there's a weird energy in the middle and a weird energy at the end. It was after all a Friday afternoon recording.

Was last week a revision episode? We'll never know. There's some festival chat, some cheese poo talk, lots of poo talk actually.

Then we get to the science, the boring bit, and we cover early human metal production and their reactions with Carbon. Big confusion over why amino acids are seesaws. Are amino acids seesaws?

Acids, alkalis and bases. A lot of H+ and salts and metal extraction and stuff. All the big headlines. Enjoy!

Don’t Lick Mud

It’s biology this week, and Ron is teaching Laura all about bacteria and antibiotics. The Somerset science siblings are coming to you from inside a pillow fort in Brussels. There’s no notepad and Laura and Ron are in the same room... chaos ingredients ASSEMBLED.

We recover vesicles and look at bacteria and how they attack cells. In trying to discuss convergent evolution they wind up discussing whether or not dolphins are attractive.

Then we're in to antibiotics and antigens and other exciting ways that the body fights off problems. Or are we?
