For more than 10 years The Science & Entertainment Exchange has facilitated conversations between thought leaders in the entertainment industry and experts in the science community. We invite you to join National Academy of Sciences member Sean B. Carroll and writer/director/producer/actor Seth MacFarlane as they explore the role of dumb luck and chance in determining life, death, and destiny. Why is the world the way it is? How did we get here? And what are the chromosomal odds that you are actually you?
We’re spinning the lottery wheel on this entirely unrehearsed and unscripted event, and look forward to a conversation that is wide-ranging and thought-provoking, spontaneous and entertaining, insightful and irreverent.
Speakers:

Seth is one of my favorite people ever. I'm late to the party, but I just ordered this book and I'm very excited to read it. What a great conversation!

[@lower_case_t]

RUclips algorithms.... I click on literally every video featuring Seth or Sean (both Sean Carrolls, actually), and they suggest this half a year after it got uploaded?

[@robinh4]

Same, happens to me all the time. The RUclips algorithm is awful. They usually suggest me videos I've already watched.

[@aShamelessHigh]

​@@robinh4hope you're still alive robin. Been awhile

[@TheRealMake-Make]

Two years for me. Geez-this was a great conversation.

[@originalsuccessjournal8723]

[@hanszecevic9128]

Can someone advise which issue of the science magazine Seth referred to in this video.

[@originalsuccessjournal8723]

It might have been page 32 of Science Today

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

This is a great and really interesting discussion.

[@giantsr1eva]

@JaredGriffiths2000
I noticed that evolution kept being brought up except when there was the discussion about vaccines. Didn’t evolution create these viruses and evolution gave us an immune system to fight these viruses. It was a good discussion.

[@septemberrainearth6714]

[@TheRealMake-Make]

3:44 Wow, this whole story is spooky even taking into account Seth’s habitual tardiness.

[@originalsuccessjournal8723]

Thay means late in italian

[@joshua3171]

Allah has a sense of humour

[@seirayuki9370]

I..I just can't stop staring at Seth's teeth. There's something there....

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

I always thought he had beautiful teeth too. One of my friends has teeth like his as well. I'm currently getting my teeth straightened, I've always been jealous of Seth MacFarlane and that friend of mine because of how good their teeth are.

[@originalsuccessjournal8723]

Must work kinder
