You Can't Measure Chaos

This week the science siblings are in their comfort zone of biology, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that they can’t fall out about it. Ron tries to teach Laura using her favourite thing on planet earth: tea. However, it just causes Laura to be annoyed that the learning never actually turns into tea. Diffusion is the big topic of the day; looking at chaos theory, entropy and then how bodies make use of concentration gradients to get functions done. Things like breathing, and making piss. They manage to say piss a lot in this episode, a weird number of times. Exchange surfaces are analysed in great detail but Laura is a little distracted by trying to work out if she and Ron are under the same cloud. It is raining cats and dogs in Brussels and Ron’s recording station being just under a velux makes for a rainy episode of the podcast. Spoiler: Laura and Ron were not under the same cloud.
