Conan O'Brien, the scientist

Years ago I participated in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, and was lucky enough to win a place in the final 40. Back then, we’d get a trip to Washington, DC, where we met Ted Kennedy, the President, nobel laureates, the National Science Foundation, and more. But we never had Conan O’Brien!

Conan O’Brien recently visited the latest version of this competition, the Intel Science Talent Search, in Reno Nevada. His version of science involves a cocktail, a slot machine, trash talking nerds, and a product to block see-through cameras. Check it out, starting at 6 minutes and 30 seconds (6:30).
