The main topic of this episode continues on the topics of last week's episode, where we discuss how science is portrayed in the media. We go over how some popular culture portrays scientists well while others fall short of doing a good job. We also discuss what life can be like as a scientist and the different personalities that are present in the many fields of science. As a conclusion, we discuss what may turn people away from science, and how we can improve the accessibility of science communication. Before this deep discussion, we discuss recent achievements in solar power, and Pheely ends the episode with the history of UNIX and how it is the basis for many computer systems in use today.
