In the final episode of the season, Regan continues her lesson on vaccines. The siblings discuss a terrible study that happened, dumb rumours about a certain new vaccine, and how to avoid legal fees.

This week Regan begins her lesson on vaccines. It's definitely not related to anything happening in the world right now and they don't address dumb things certain dumb people have said. Also Justin Trudeau owes Declan a favour and this is documentation of that.

The siblings discuss renewable energy sources, the movie Up, and Chernobyl. All happy and not depressing topics. They actually keep it pretty light, until Regan gets heated by a nuclear power plant on a beach and Declan creates a game based on science despite having no scientific knowledge.

This week Regan talks about non-renewable energy sources, Declan talks about his children, and a ghost talks about how it is going to murder Declan. Wait. What?

In this fan and friend recommended episode; Regan exposes frauds, makes her brother take a fruit quiz, and Declan asks the creepiest children's riddles ever. Also, in the spirit of Halloween, someone dies.

Regan teaches a deliriously tired Declan about our good friends; the trees. Regan also has to explain the basic concepts of coniferous and deciduous trees, lichen, and photosynthesis. Meanwhile, Declan makes a sincere promise to Paul Rudd and allows his sister to play one last round of guess the fake dinosaur movie.

Cale Gushulak is back (that rhymes) to teach us more about dinosaurs (that doesn’t). He talks about the best dino’s, the small indie move, Jurassic Park, and horrifying Facebook groups. The trio play another game of guess the fake dinosaur movie, and Regan and Declan show their entire asses trying to guess how tall a dinosaur is.

Our good friend Cale Gushulak drops in to tell Regan and Declan all about dinosaurs! He had some much Dino info we had to split it into two parts! Regan asks about some things that aren’t even dinosaurs and Declan tricks the two scientists into listening to his screenplay pitch.

Regan teaches Declan all about the mystical mysteries that are mountains. No seriously apparently there’s no firm definition on what a mountain is. Also Declan makes a segment where he just talks about the Yeti for a while.

Showing off their great timing, the siblings discuss the importance of science communications (aka scicomm) two weeks after #scicomm day. Regan also ruins a murder mystery party while Declan latches onto every opportunity to talk about wild times in Ancient Greece.

In this episode, Regan teaches Declan all about extreme environments and what kinds of creatures have adapted to survive there. The siblings get side-tracked by a dope spider, a creature from Regan’s nightmares, and Declan’s perceived ability to hand-to-hand fight some of these extreme creatures.

Special Guest Nell Libera stops by to explain paleolimnology. Regan enjoys her break from research and asks some good science questions. Declan asks questions mostly revolving around his plan to create a bunch of clones and leave them at the bottom of a lake. The trio also show that they have a large amount of in-depth knowledge surrounding the Ice Age movie franchise.

Regan tries to explain the importance of science literacy to Declan. Unfortunately he is not very science literate, doesn’t understand, and instead fixates on an allegedly fictional experiment involving sticks and butts and sticks entering the butts.

Regan teaches Declan the basics on what makes an invasive species, how to identify them, and how to control them. Declan struggles to understand this and requires an example; Oscar-winning director James Cameron.

Regan takes on a lighter topic this week, discussing alcohol. She uses the phrases ‘fleshy bodies’ and ‘yeast strain’ multiple times and it makes everyone uncomfortable. Meanwhile Declan is creeped out by the many scientific processes that go into making alcohol and inflicts a new segment on the world at the end.

Regan continues her lesson on climate change, suggesting habits that individuals can do to help on a personal level. She also vomits mid-episode, says the phrase ‘loose worms’, and talks about her weird dream. Declan has a pretty normal episode, by his standards. A brand new segment appears at the end of the episode!

THIS IS A FUN, HAPPY EPISODE! The siblings try to keep things light while Regan teaches Declan about climate change. Regan attempts her first ever monologue, Declan suggests a new pronunciation of climate change to make it more fun, and a new segment makes an appearance at the end of the episode.

In this episode Regan tries to teach Declan about the cannabis industry. They talk about legalization, alien intervention, and the rapidly expanding research field of cannabis. Declan also uncovers a government conspiracy and gets himself put on a watchlist.

Regan tries to teach Declan about evolution and the types of natural selection. The siblings also ponder the implications of giraffes evolving longer floppy necks, the existence of the Fishleback Stick, and the horrifying nature of the echidna. Regan also briefly ridicules Declan’s thalassophobia before he proves he’s right for having it.

Regan teaches Declan about pollination, the many species of bees, and the bastard hover-fly. She also yells at him for bringing up The Bee Movie.
