Scientists who interviewed each other included microbiologist Jennifer Macalady, physicist Davide D'Angelo, psychologist Axel Cleeremans, astrobiologist Luke McKay, astrophysicist Rachel Smith, geobiologist Victoria Orphan, physicist Jun Ye, neuroscientist Anil Seth, and cognitive psychologist Laurie R. a scientific game of tag", "global game of tag with experts", "beads on a chain of discovery", "a daisy chain of one-on-one interviews / lab tours", "an intellectual relay race or high-IQ speed dating", and "a global relay of encounters in an effort to find commonality of language and purpose as life's big questions are explored". who visit one another blind-date style", "a round-robin of wonder", "a daisy chain of nine curious scientific minds. Reviewers described the interviews variously as "a La Ronde of intellectuals", "nine scientists. Then the scientist whose research has just been discussed heads off to a new location (usually remote, always beautifully lensed) where somebody from a separate school of study tells them about what they're up to. Film Journal International said, "In each of the nine segments, one scientist travels to meet another scientist of a different discipline to learn about the research they're doing.
The film presents interviews with nine scientists, each conducted by a scientist in another discipline-"a geobiologist, molecular biologist, various physicists studying space and time, cognitive psychologists, and a neuroscientist-who take turns visiting one another to get a cursory taste of the other's field", according to The Village Voice.
