▶️ Hosts: Sura Hadi & Mike Ouren
📻 Between AI episodes, we took a detour - into Scotch rituals, comic book logic, nostalgic TV, science jokes, and what lab automation might smell like.
This Helical Brew Intermission brings co-hosts Mike and Sura into an unfiltered conversation covering everything from lab coat mottos to Friday movie quotes.
🔹 What if your science career was a comic book?
🔹 Can beer tasting be a scientific experiment?
🔹 What’s the real science behind IPA vs Belgian beer?
🔹 And if automation had a smell… would it be obsession?
🍻 Step off the AI superhighway and into a half-pint of insight and hilarity
