In a time when facts can be alternative. A time when the truth seems up for debate. One voice emerges from the noise. A bold and tireless voice. That won't stop until the world hears the word of science. Hello, how you going? Yes, Science Versus is back next week. Next week on March 22nd with a brand new season.

And this season, we're going to find out if sex addiction really is a thing. If you take away sex from a sex addict, nothing happens. Nobody ever died in the history of the world from blue balls. We're making the ultimate sacrifice and not eating bread for weeks to try to hack our bodies using the ketogenic diet. This diet is turning you into a monster. And we find out who really is to blame for the opioid epidemic. I've been accused of being responsible for our current drug abuse problem. What would you class your role in this as?

Oh, dear. How scared should we be about nuclear war? People have this really silly version of North Korea in their head where they're, like, you know, taping together three garbage cans with duct tape and calling it a missile. I mean, that's a real-ass missile. And we come face-to-face with a polar bear. Are they really going extinct?

I'm really excited. I've never seen a polar bear before. What a great day. It's going to be so much fun. Yes, that's all coming up on the next season of Science Versus. Subscribe and tell your friends. It comes out on March 22nd this Thursday. I'm Wendy Zuckerman. Back to you next time.
