Think back, way back, all the way back
To the first science subject that really got your attention,
The first time you thought,
Hey, this is really amazing,
Or whoa, that is really weird,
Or, nah, that can’t possibly be right…
Whatever it was, whenever it was,
Hold on to that thought,
That moment, way back whenever,
Maybe when you were seven, or 13, or 39…
That moment when your curiosity spoke up,
When your curiosity was heard,
When your curiosity got answered for the first time,
Is what we try to bring every week to this show.
You, the human listening now, thanks for coming!
That insatiable curious questioning voice in your brain?
That’s who we heard,
That’s who we’re here for,
In fact it’s the entire reason for,
This Week in Science!
