The Super Science Happy Hour with Matt & Matt stars Matt Krause and Matt Johnson. Both Matts hold PhDs in Neuroscience from Yale University, have an active interest in many areas of science, and are devastatingly witty and handsome in person. The podcast is a mostly spontaneous conversion between Matt & Matt about various news items and issues in the science world. We know a lot about some of the topics we discuss and not very much about others, but we usually take some interesting digressions along the way. We’re relatively low-tech for now, but hopefully if anyone listens, we’ll get more polished over time. If you’d like to support the show, feel free to send us buckets of money and/or audio equipment.
