Thescienceshed

It's another special roving episode, and this time Steve and Nick are at Scout bar in east London. Scout has been described as '..a science lab, not a bar' by the Evening Standard and in this podcast the blotto scientists find out why. Steve and Nick have to try and guess the ingredients of 3 locally foraged cocktails, before venturing down to see the lab to find out how they're made. So pour yourself an Old Fashioned and listen in... ENJOY! Many thanks to our special guests - Hamish Smith and Alan Sherwood @ Scout!

Steve makes it snow indoors this week, before explaining how you might remove an embarrassing tattoo using the power of light. But he soon becomes unstuck in a challenge thrown down by an 11-year old version of Nick, transported through time from 1988. Does Steve really not know what chemistry is?!
