Welcome to the 89th episode of the Brains, Braun, & Corbin Podcast. Today, we review The Thing (2011), the prequel to John Carpenter’s The Thing from 1982, which we reviewed WAY BACK in Episode 43. Hang on tight as we discuss the film's workplace professionalism and how much better it would have been if Sam Carter wasn’t possessed in the end. Then, in true BB&C fashion, we perform a genre swap and CONVERT The Thing into a classic Christian movie. Finally, stay tuned as we read your emails and have Kurtis bring our next two movie suggestions. Disclaimer: Explicit content. Don’t take anything seriously, no offense is intended

Anyone else a ‘bad’ science student in high school? For those who haven’t been indoctrinated, earth science can be all intimidating facts and hard edges. Hannah Perrine Mode is an abstract artist who has found a connection to science through her artwork. Her experiences as a science communicator as part of the Juneau Icefield Research Program in Alaska have opened her up to more diverse methods of sharing glacial and earth science with people - on and off the icefield. We talk about how Hannah went from being a self-described ‘bad’ science student to using abstract art to tell the stories of glaciers to creating an installation at Google featuring women scientists.
