Full and Complete Biographies for the This Week In Science crew.
Widely regarded across the western half of the universe as one of the premiere centers for the study of sentient life in the cosmos, the Institute for Comparative Cultural Xenology regularly funds missions to numerous fledgling planetary civilizations, fulfilling its charter to further understanding, diversity, cultural exchange, and peace across the stars. Despite this, the Institute still decided to send the intergalactic tricksters Kirsten and Justin, to Earth. Culled from the archives of the human resources department at the Institute, the information contained below is all that is publicly available at this time regarding these elusive media operatives. As with all ICCX field agents, they are required to file weekly reports regarding the progress of science and technology on their assigned worlds. Thanks to the phenomenon of electromagnetic radiowave propagation technology, earthlings may listen to and contribute to these reports.
