The Pseudoscientists

Tom and Jack are joined by comedian Ben McKenzie to talk about the relationship between Doctor Who and science: whether or not it is science fiction, how it represents science and scientists, and how time travel, regeneration and sonic screwdrivers fare scientifically. Also, Tom shares some news about the consensus on climate change. Jargonauts looks at the multi-talented world of vectors, and Question of the Week examines science communication: "How far should science communicators simplify science when explaining complicated concepts?" Plus: Tom's Melbourne Fringe show, self-referentialisms, and more Doctor Who.
