Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!
With all of the things going on in the world today, like, those things I stopped paying attention to around mid-pandemic
And all the news about stuff going on in those places where it’s happening.
I may have stopped paying attention to the news for so long that I can’t make current references to anything anymore. For all, I know the zombie apocalypse happened and right now we’re broadcasting to a sea of mindless zombies!
If so then, Braaaaains!
And if not well, we might still talk about brains because the one thing we never stop paying attention to around here is science!
No matter what else the day brings or doesn’t bring regardless of the weather, whether good or rather bad, inconsequentially dependent on the amount of coffee in your cup, compared to the number of tasks left on your todo list, completely removed from the half-remembered images of the dream you had last night that try as you might can not be formed into a cohesive narrative.
Science always finds something new to get excited about and tells a story to go with it.
And that’s why we’re excited to bring you another episode of This Week in Science!
Some lightning-quick science news!
