From the dawn of civilization, when Archimedes and Aeschylus fought on the steps of the Parthenon (maybe), science and pop culture have waged war against one another for the hearts and minds of the world! Now, the next clash in that epic showdown is set to be waged, only instead of a battlefield it will once again be fought behind desks. Nerdist Senior Editor and host of The Dan Cave Dan Casey will face off once more against Nerdist Science Editor and host of Because Science Kyle Hill, and with your help they’ll try to finally settle the debate between fact and fiction on an all new season of Natural Selection!

Dan and Kyle will return live on May 31 for season two of our series that asks you to vote on who is the ultimate victor when the realm of superheroes, movies, and sci-fi goes head-to-head with the world of physics, chemistry, and math. You’ll be able to tune in to the second season kickoff at our Nerdist and Because Science YouTube pages, or at our Twitch channel, but if you want to see the entire season and help pick each week’s winner, you’ll have to sign up for out interactive online community at Project Alpha.

We’ll be posting new episodes on YouTube every other week, with the rest of the season airing exclusively at Alpha. Don’t worry, though, because to celebrate the latest showdown between pop culture and real life, we’re giving you an extra special, FREE two-month offer to sign up. That’s right, if you still haven’t joined Project Alpha, just use the code DEBATE for a 60-day free trial when you join.

That way you can make sure your voice is heard when pop culture and science meet in the arena once again on Natural Selection, just like the Ancient Greeks screaming encouragement as Sophocles and Socrates as they traded blows in front of a packed amphitheater. Possibly. We’re not as knowledgeable when it comes to history.
