Hello and welcome to SciShow Tangents, the lightly competitive knowledge showcase, starring some of the geniuses that make the YouTube series Sci Show happen.

Today we got with us, as always, Stefan Chin, producer of SciShow. How you doing?

Stefan, what's your tagline?

Habaniero dreaming.

Oh, that's a really good one.

We're also joined by producer of SciShow Kids, Sam Schultz. Hello.

Stefan made me forget my tagline.

That's a great tagline.

And also script editor, Sarah Riley.

Check out these hot glue guns.

And I'm Hank Green. Peanut peanut missile. So to introduce this

podcast for you every week, we gather together, try to one-up amaze and delight each other with

science facts. We're playing for glory, but we're also keeping score and awarding Hank Bucks.

So we do everything we can to stay on topic. But judging from previous conversations with this group, we will not be great at that. So if somebody goes on a tangent, we can decide whether or not that tangent was worth it. And then we can take one of their Hank books away, basically. The rules are in flux. Don't worry too much about it. Now, as always, we're going to introduce the topic with the traditional science poem. And this week, it's me.

I had a very hard time writing my poem. I'm just, I'm prefacing that because I'm not super proud of it.

Sometimes your brain just isn't in the right spot, but you have to do it. And so you make

yourself write two science limericks. Oh, you have two. Kind of. Energy freed that molecule from

a polar toar hydrogen bond.

Now gas in the air, it flies here and there.

It waits until the cold comes.

When conditions ideal diagram it and people want to Instagram it,

the molecules freeze to their tiny cloud seeds, and they fall on my windshield, God damn it.
