And Kara is always in the background just laughing because she's so confident.

She doesn't care what people know about her, which I respect.

And then that night we'll be doing a skeptical extravaganza.

That's our stage show.

It's basically an hour and 45 minute to two hour show where we are –

all about doing improv stand-up type bits George basically again like he has a bunch of different things that he makes us all do that are fun interesting and there is a backbone of science in this one and there are surprises and lots of fun things going on so if you haven't been to one or you would like to check it out again please do go to our events page on the website all right thanks Jay guys you have a great interview coming up with philosopher David Kyle Johnson so let's go to that interview now

Okay.

Jay?

Okay.

The first one, observing a recent volcanic eruption, scientists discover a potential method for reducing atmospheric methane involving volcanic ash and seawater.

Yeah, on the surface, that one sounds pretty impossible, right?

There'd be so much stuff coming out of a volcano.

So reducing atmospheric methane.

You know, maybe they do something to the volcano beforehand.

Oh, I got volcanic ash and seawater.

Okay, seawater, because there's plenty of that.

Let me think about that.

I'll go to the second one here.

Scientists present a design for pure copper 3D printable coal plates that under modeled conditions could reduce data center cooling energy used to about 1.1% of total energy consumption compared with the 30%.

Yeah, I think with enough metal and with the right engineering that you would be able to... Yeah, that's pretty damn significant.
