In the scientist's lair

Jon Stewart and the Daily Show had a double header on science a couple days ago. First, Stewart had a segment about the second anniversary of Climategate which included discussing the recent climate data from a study paid by the Koch brothers.

Then one of the show's reporters heads out for an exposé on what scientists are really up to. He finds the only people qualified to review a scientist's work is another scientist. How can we simple Americans tell what is really going on in a scientist's lair?

Don't bother watching if you have a low tolerance for satire.

Also on the show was Lisa Randall, an actual physicist.
