When Science Ruins Fiction

WSRF #7: Below - Some good Krak

Introducing When Science Ruins Fiction. A podcast that no one needs, but more than a few people have asked for - and thus, we caved. Will Tingle is a conservation filmmaker, marine biologist, and has consumed more obscure works of science fiction than he has hairs on his head (still impressive as of writing this). Alice Thomson is a science communicator with a Master’s focusing on the impact of Sci-Fi on the public understanding of science, too many opinions, and far too dyslexic to express them in a written format. Together, every two weeks we will be tackling a piece of science fiction media, discussing how accurate the science is, how enjoyable it makes the film, and most importantly, if it ultimately makes or ruins it. We’re trying to build a community of people to chat with, educate, and learn from, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
