The time has finally arrived for us to ask JoAG’s resident boffin, Eileen Marks-Nelson, some of our listeners’ weirdest science questions! If you’ve ever wondered how vampires get it up, or how long you’re alive after decapitation, or whether it’s possible there’s a branch of human evolution that turned into merpeople, you’re in the right place!
Highlights:
[0:00] CoRri tells Mark about the infamous Australian “shark arm case.” Thanks to Jason Chodera for the tip!

[27:00] We talk about what we watched this week
[52:50] Brief One Night in Soho spoiler
[54:30] Spoilers over! We discuss how supernatural horror movies are too often ruined by twist endings
