Welcome to Demystifying Science. We explain confusing and mystified science.
You sign up for the CHANCE to present on the show using the button below. Signing up doesn’t mean you WILL present. It’s entirely up to chance. We will randomly choose names from a hat of all those that signed up. You must be present in the zoom meeting at the above link at the proper time in order to present should your name get pulled. After you sign up, your email will be sent a reminder about the upcoming show, along with a link to this page & the Zoom meeting link.
If your name is called during the show, your camera and mic will be enabled and you will have one minute to present your idea, followed by a brief 5-15 min interview where we will ask you questions about your theory. When one minute has elapsed you will hear the sound of a timer going off. That means time to wind down. Around1:15 you will hear the classic sound of a gong at which point you will be cut off. Do not interrupt us while we’re asking questions during the interview - it will not help your case. The interview is your most important time to shine, since this is where the theories might pop into clarity for us and the audience.
Download the free version of the Zoom App. DO NOT USE THE WEB BROWSER VERSION. The App version is the only one that will stream properly.
Check your camera and microphone inside of Zoom beforehand. Make sure you look and sound great. You must show your self and there will be no screen sharing. If you want to use visual aids, use a piece of paper or a white board. Practice ahead of time to make sure it can be seen.
Cancellations: if, for any reason you cannot make it to the show after signing up, email demystifysci at gmail dot com. If you fail to appear without notifying us, we will ban you for life.
If you fail to follow the rules or have technical problems you will be ejected from the show immediately. Try again next show!
You are the owner of your own ideas but you do not own the rights to your appearance on this show. That means we will publish your appearance in full IF and only IF WE WANT TO. Just getting pulled from the hat does not mean you will necessarily be guaranteed an appearance. We reserve the right to eject you from the show for any reason we please. So make friends.
