Hear enlightening encounters from our past as science historians and performers from Philly Improv Theater team up to explain why today's hokum was yesterday's fact. Scholars include: Darin Hayton, Haverford College; Diane Paul, University of Massachusetts at Boston; Sharrona Pearl, University of Pennsylvania; Jonathan Seitz, Drexel University; Elly Truit, Bryn Mawr College; Michael Yudell, Drexel University.
