Science
You love "The Big Bang Theory," but what the heck are Sheldon and the gang talking about? Join author Dave Zobel for a fun and explanatory conversation about the science behind the hit television show. Is the science real? Who decides on the topics? And why does Sheldon think 73 is the best number?
Dave Zobel
In addition to his seven-year stint as a writer for public radio’s The Loh Down on Science, Dave Zobel has penned segments for StarDate, NPR’s Day to Day, and the game show Says You! A science pundit who’s appeared on G4 and Discovery, Zobel sits on the board of T4T, an L.A. not-for-profit that rescues manufacturers’ discards and repurposes them as science and arts kits for schools.
