This episode features an excerpt of a talk by Christine McKinley, mechanical engineer, musician,
host of Brad Meltzer’s Decoded on
History Channel, and author of Physics for Rock Stars: Making
the Laws of the Universe Work for You. In this
(hilarious!) talk, she describes her childhood where she
was learning about the scientific method at the same time she
was trying to fit in as a "cool kid." She continues by describing
what it was like to learn physics and chemistry while going to
Catholic school, and how the things she was learning in her science
classes began to relate to how she sees the world and the people in
it.

As always, a final thanks to Jonathan Coulton for the use of his song Mandelbrot Set as our theme music.
