Taking advantage of the latest digital animation techniques, Science Gossip summarizes the careers of important figures from the History of Science.

Although scientific rigor is respected, the point of view is more light hearted and amusing so that viewers receive short, dynamic doses of interesting information about each scientist, complemented by curious anecdotes.

First class information, totally true, fully proved and lots of fun!
