Disinfectiology (BLEACH) with Evan Rumberger

Published: July 16, 2019, 11:30 p.m.

It lives under your sink and may have saved your life but\u2026 WHAT THE FUNK IS BLEACH? Hot off of a beaker-laden lab tour, Alie chats with Dr. Evan Rumberger, a bleach scientist, about his work, his history, what bleach IS, what it turns into, and how to appreciate this household staple. Also: what exactly is in swimming pools and how to tie-dye shirts when you\u2019re goth. This was part of a partnership with Clorox, but Alie thought the chemistry was cool enough to share with Ologites.\n\nFor more bleach facts, this link's got 'em: FactsAboutBleach.com\n\nA donation went to the EvidenceAction.org\n\nSponsor links:\xa0Progressive.com; TheGreatCoursesPlus.com/Ologies; functionofbeauty.com/ologies, TakeCareOf.com (code: OLOGIES)\n\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month:\xa0www.Patreon.com/ologies\n\nOlogiesMerch.com\xa0has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\n\nFollow\xa0twitter.com/ologies\xa0or\xa0instagram.com/ologies\n\nFollow\xa0twitter.com/AlieWard\xa0or\xa0instagram.com/AlieWard\n\nSound editing by\xa0Jarrett Sleeper\xa0of\xa0MindJam Media\xa0&\xa0Steven Ray Morris\n\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\n\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies
