Season 2: Threads
This season creates fascinating connections between seemingly disparate pieces of information in an entertaining fashion. We reveal the hidden relationships between different scientific phenomena, helping you understand the interconnected nature of chemistry in our world.
Season 3: Quizzes
Our final season takes all the information presented in previous seasons and offers it in a quiz show style format, similar to "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" This interactive approach helps solidify your knowledge while keeping the entertainment value high.
