Beard or no?

The adorable guys at AsapScience debate the benefits of facial hair

You know beards are a thing when the boys of AsapScience have a facial-hair throwdown.

Canadian science educators Mitch and Greg posted a new video on their alternate channel, AsapThought, where they explore the great beard debate.

Beard or not, I think we can all agree that this video is scientifically proven to be adorable!

Also, another exciting announcement from the AsapScience boys came this week when they shared news that they’re releasing a book: Answers to the World’s Weirdest Questions, Most Persistent Rumors and Unexplained Phenomena.
