    Hi Science Live! I loved this episode because it was so interesting. First, the moment Tobias started talking about the transportation in Japan I knew he would be talking about Shinkansens. I’ve never been on one YET but I hope to go Japan with my family one day! This week’s episode with the protégés was HILARIOUS! I love David and Caleb and it’s my favorite part of the Science Live. Thank you Acellus for another week of Science Live and have a wonderful day!

      The addition of Kaleb and David is top notch. I dont think R51 should have access to the shrinker, poor Pajet is about to be small enough to fit in his pocket lol

    Comets are ice, small Solar System bodies, often called “dirty snowballs,” composed of frozen gases, rock, and dust that orbit the Sun. Thank you for another great science live. I loved learning about comets, and I look forward to learning more in the future.
