Description:

 

Is blood useful as an electrolyte material? Can Ana's husband Doug help us understand art? Is art even worth understanding? We didn't answer all of these questions but we answered most of them

Covered this episode: blood chandelier batteries, some aimless chattery about other subjectively distressing art, and battery/fuel cell concepts for medical devices
