Pretzel Perfume, Egg Foam, and the Number of Bubbles in Beer: Pub Chemistry | Orbitals 405

Sam's joined by Orbitals executive producer George Zaidan (as promised in the episode, you can see his hot pepper struggle here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R98O29Fs7s) Featuring Matt Hartings, PhD and Selina Wang, PhD
