Wait, Wait, Earth Isn't Doomed. (Live comedy show)

You heard correctly, we attempted a non-depressing science comedy show about Earth's future! Join us as we adopt the style from the beloved NPR show, "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!" and test your knowledge with a panel of the smartest – and funniest – conservation scientists and sustainability experts D.C. has to offer! Host Kasha Patel (NASA journalist by day, stand-up comedian by night!) will guide our guests and audience through a mine field of news, fake news, clearly made up stories not even resembling news, and of course, limericks! 

Panelists:

+Jessie Deichmann, conservation biologist at Smithsonian's National Zoo
+Julie Speers, sustainability officer at National Science Foundation
+Tom Di Liberto, climate researcher at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Host: Kasha Patel

Score keeper: Haywood Turnipseed Jr.

This show was produced by DC Science Comedy and Taste of Science DC. It was  recorded live in 2018 at the DC Drafthouse Theater. We released it today as special episode in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.
