Join big time scientists and celebrity Whovians – including DW Executive Producer and lead writer Steven Moffat, 30 Rock’s Scott Adsit, comedian Eugene Mirman and more! – as they address humankind’s most important question: How much of the science-fiction of DOCTOR WHO is science-fact? Invisibility mode? Regeneration? Parallel universes?

Plus guests Danica McKellar (The Wonder Years, now a mathematician) and Cara Santa Maria (Huffington Post’s “Talk Nerdy to Me”) – plus Bill Nye (The Science Guy) and Neil Degrasse Tyson!
