Description

Guests: Dr. Erin Macdonald & Prof. Mohamed Noor

The Star Trek science consultants themselves join us to discuss the science of Discovery's third season. Learn how the concept of the Burn was developed and why all sorts of other scientific plot points—from a deadly prion disease to a coronal mass ejection—were included.
