Brits Who Make Science Sexy

Smart is sexy. A weighty conversation is not only intellectually stimulating but really gets the blood flowing. BBC America’s premiering a new show tonight (February 11) at 10:20pm Eastern called Bang Goes the Theory, featuring four young, sexy hosts having fun testing theories.

On this occasion, let’s take a peek at some other Brits who are making science sexy:
