4.3: The Office, An American Workplace (Scranton Science)

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica… We’re heading (virtually) to a mid-sized regional paper company named Dunder Mifflin in Scranton, Pennsylvania to ask, can science tell us what the deal is with office romances? How do we make jelly hard enough to hide a stapler in? How would your body react if Dwight pepper sprayed you? Why do Kevin’s feet smell so bad? Can Angela really talk to her cats? And, what really happens to our bodies when we eat beetroot? Join us to explore the surprising science behind the hugely popular American TV sitcom, ‘The Office’ and, maybe, you too will feel God in this Chillies tonight.   Hosted and produced by Emma Brisdion and Karen Collins.   If you enjoyed the episode please leave us a review (five stars would be perfect, thanks) as it really helps new listeners find the podcast.   Don't forget to follow us on social media! You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.   For even more, read our science blog and find out what else we learned from our expert guests on our website www.smallscreenscience.co.uk.
