Dr. Darko's Bathtub Science Adventures!, 11:11 PM
Hosted by food.
Do you want to take a bath & learn what a reverse transcriptase quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction is? Then join the barely-qualified Dr. Darko for a soothing lecture as they combine the relaxation of a soak in the tub with the high-stress environment of an exam you didn't study for. Topics include: what the hell is a cycle threshold; what does the vaccine do anyway; what is a angiotensin-converting enzyme & why should i care; and whatever else you want to ask a science nerd who's too drunk to be teaching but is doing it anyway. [Please note: Dr. Darko is not a medical doctor, or any other kind for the matter. Nothing in this lecture is meant to be construed as medical advice, and you shouldn't trust everyone who's wearing a lab coat.]
