    This week we talk about creativity and address the silly notion that creativity is only for stereotypical artists and that science is not a creative field. As per usual, we go into multiple rants (think capitalism, pay gaps between fields, and the likes). It's as Priyanka-Madi as it gets. Leave us a comment and tell us what you think!

    This week we discuss our opinions about the way the universe works. Is everything utter chaos, or is there a predetermined order determined by the forces of the universe? In typical Priyanka and Madi fashion, this episode is full is disagreements, laughter, and the general understanding that humans don't really know anything about anything. Hope you enjoy!
