Science Telephone

Laugh while you learn, as the classic game of telephone is repurposed for scientific research. Each episode, one scientist explains their research to a comedian, who then has to explain it to the next comedian, and so on until it's almost unrecognizable. See what sticks and what changes, with a rotating cast of brilliant scientists and hysterical comedians.
