New episode out tomorrow! Get your vocal cords warm for this one, because Dad wants to know: Why Can We Sing? Featuring Nathan Welham from @WiscSurgery Available wherever you get your podcasts
Important debate between Lily and Lloyd: is Pythagoras more of a philosopher or more of a mathematician? The humanities grad and the science grad hash this one out in our next episode “Why Can We Sing?”, out on Monday.
Don't forget that you can submit questions for us to answer via explainingsciencetomydad.com/contact/. We love a listener question! Lily can only take so many questions from Lloyd's strange brain...
