Deus Ex: Welcome to Doctor Geek\\u2019s Moment of Science

Dr Geek: While most of us are sheltering in place, remember that ordinary soap and water are very powerful tools that can keep us all healthy.\\xa0 Why is that? Because viruses generally consist of RNA, proteins and lipids.\\xa0 There are no strong bonds holding these building blocks together, so it doesn\\u2019t take much effort for the soap to dissolve the lipid (or fatty) layer causing the virus to become inactive.\\xa0 That\\u2019s right, with soap the power to fight this pandemic is in your hands!

Doctor Geek

Before his wife will permit him to go back to graduate school, yet again, Scott will have to promise to move on to something that starts with a \\u201cB\\u201d. As luck would have it, Scott is also the first bionic man. Well, \\u2026 not exactly.

In reality, Scott was one of the first to undergo extensive orthopedic surgery to compensate for cerebral palsy. While these cutting edge techniques did in fact grant him the ability to walk, making him better \\u2026 stronger \\u2026 faster, his new abilities did not in fact come with the cool sound effects. So began a lifelong obsession with science, technology, and the science fiction that inspires them.

Scott\\u2019s love of all things science fiction and fantasy can be heard on various podcasts, including Transmissions From Gallifrey, Articles of the Shadow Proclamation, Earth Station One, and Earth Station Who. Scott is also one of the writers for Continuum Force, penning several of the episodes.

Throughout the year, Scott travels the convention circuit, appearing at such conventions as Dragon*con, Time Lord Fest, and TimeGate, where he can be seen participating in Doctor Who related panels and speaking on such topics as \\u201cThe Archaeology of Stargate\\u201d.

Scott established Doctor Geek\\u2019s Laboratory and Doctor Geek\\u2019s Science Fair in the hope that it would encourage a rekindled sense of optimism for the future. That it would bring about enthusiasm for innovation. That it would bring the fictional world of tomorrow, one step closer to today.

Scott is also a consultant for the Science & Entertaiment Exchange, a volunteer network based out of Los Angles that connects productions with experts who can add a little science to the fiction.
