Carl Sagan is an inspiration to us all. This week, they guys bring in Ingrid Ockert, a PhD student at Princeton University and an expert in the inner and outer machinations of science communication. Ingrid offers insight into the history of modern science education, while everyone waxes poetic about the man, the myth, the legend: Carl Sagan.

Places to Donate for Hurricane Irma

Airbnb: The hospitality company is working to coordinate people in need of a place to stay with people willing to offer a free room.
