Matt Storrs sits down with scientist turned stand-up comic Ben Miller (IG @thisisbenmiller) to discuss scanning electron microscopes. In a greatly personal journey Matt details the scientific black market, the ethics of lab animals, and the movie What the Bleep Do We Know. Ben patiently listens and then details the ins and outs of a fascinating scientific tool.
