Hey there,
I enjoy your show when I'm able to watch it. As a graduate student and teaching assistant one of my favorite things about the show is that it essentially teaches hypothesis testing, though in an informal way. Have you ever thought of emphasizing this aspect of scientific inquiry on your show or producing edited versions for schools where you can cut away from the show to state and analyze your hypotheses explicitly? I think this would be a great pedagogical tool at the high school and undergraduate level. The show is engaging and familiar to young people and I think it would be well integrated into scientific curricula.
Thanks!
