0:00.0	Well, hello, everyone. Welcome to Fat Mascara. I am Jen and it's Thursday. It also happens
0:13.1	to be Earth Day. So happy Earth Day. So before we get into the show, quick reminder, if you
0:17.9	happen to listen to this episode right when it drops, good for you because then there's
0:22.0	still time to register for our Earth Day party tonight that is hosted by me, Jess and
0:27.6	Hairstyles and Tasha Speth and Daveness, a brand that we love and have worked with for
0:32.1	years. So go to FatMascara.com slash Daveness. If you want to attend, it's at 8 p.m. Eastern
0:38.6	time today, Thursday, April 22nd. Again, that's FatMascara.com slash Daveness, which is
0:44.4	D-A-V-I-N-E-S. Okay, so on to the show. It's just me again because if you were listening

1:33.4	amazing thing about this is, of course, the science. You guys know me because yes, it also shows us
1:39.6	there's problems in the Earth, but it can also show us some ways to fix things. And I thought who
1:44.5	better than one of our favorite interviews, Michelle Wong, the lab muffin, to be here with us
1:51.0	on Earth Day. She's a science educator and she has a chemistry degree and she takes a skeptics
