War war never changes - and neither do the shady scientists of the world of Fallout! From dodging government oversight to employing some seriously questionable methods the scientists at Vault-Tec West-Tek the Institute and other iconic groups have been left unchecked for far too long. Frankly we think they've gotten a bit too big for their lab coats so we're throwing down the gauntlet to challenge the science of Fallout's most prominent inventors to the most grueling test known to science: peer-review.
Join our panel of experts as we scrutinize the science behind everything from deathclaws to doomsday robots synths to super mutants ghouls to G.E.C.K.S. and everything in between!
Panelists:
* Brandon Favre (he/him) Molecular and Cellular Biology Graduate Student, Arizona State University (Youtube: youtube.com/asu)
* Dr. Joseph Hunter Ph.D. (he/him) Chief Operating Officer, RivioBio Inc. (LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/riviobio/)
* Dr. Michelle Di Palma, Ph.D. (she/her) Chief Scientific Officer, RivioBio Inc. (LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/riviobio/)
