Dr. Biology Talks With Gerry McDermott

When you think of the comic character, the Hulk, you think BIG—and that's what Dr. Biology does in this episode. He learns about a building-sized instrument being used by a group of scientists. This monster instrument is called a synchrotron and is an important part of the XM2 microscope that is being built to look inside cells in a new way. Find out how biophysicist Gerry McDermott connected to the project, and even a bit about what happened when the Hulk paid a visit to the giant monster. It kind of makes you think about what happens when two monsters meet—I'm sure there's a joke in there.
