Carlos and Cait have been called in to fight ignorance and misinformation through science. In each chapter they identify a contemporary myth, an idea that for some reason exists in the collective imagination and, with the help of one or more invited scientists for each chapter, they must deny, clarify or ratify. At the end of each chapter, another of those embedded ideas is closed with a “little myth”, but it is explained in a simpler and faster way, always backed by science. The format is formal presentation and youtuber code mixed with post-production resources that help to exemplify the explanations of the presenters / researchers / scientists.
