Legs! Legs! Legs! (The Periodic Table)
In this installment of the Doin' Science playlist, hosts Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant, both self-confessed non-chemists, nervously tackle one of chemistry's foundational tools: the periodic table. Admitting they are unqualified, the two attempt to walk through the arrangement of elements, the logic (or lack thereof) behind its structure, and what it reveals about the physical world. Part science lesson, part comedy of errors, the episode embraces the joy of learning something new—even when you're in over your head.
