Ask A Mad Scientist

You know those panels where a bunch of stuffy scientists talk about science in fancy language that goes over your head but everyone comes out feeling 20 IQ points smarter?  Yeah, didn't think so, and that's good, because this is not one of those panels.  Science - it's confusing, mysterious, and sometimes you just have to wonder what the scientists were thinking when they came up with the ideas.  Here's your chance to corner some scientists in a panel room for a Q&A on new, funny, important, weird and/or confusing science.  It's late in the evening, so let's see if we can have some fun with it!
