Show Notes
Jim and John are joined by Duke University Dean of Natural Sciences Dr. Mohamed Noor. We talk about his experience as a science advisor on the Star Trek franchise (including his role in "sciencing out" things like The Burn and Species 10), Star Trek's approach to science, and his experience using Star Trek in the classroom. Then we just geek out a lot.
