Allison
When you get back to your desk?
Robert
Yeah.
Allison
Yeah, good stuff.
Robert
What’s going on in that cup of coffee.
Allison
Well, the thing is, if you’re inspired by our world changing experiments, be sure to listen to Part 2 because we’ve got more of these coming up.
Robert
Uh-huh, and there’s going to be less radiation passing through things in that one. So if you weren’t as into that in this podcast, then there’s going to be less next time.
Allison
Yeah. We’re going to get into some cool stuff, like, determining the speed of light.
Robert
Yeah, primordial soup, drooling dogs, all sorts of good stuff.
Allison
Right. So if you want to go to the homepage and look up some cool experiments in the meantime, just type in Science Experiments and you’ll get ten science experiments that changed the world.
Robert
