| 0:00.0 | That's Tronby Cast, episode 561, remembering Catherine Johnson. Welcome to a Tronby Cast, |
| 0:10.1 | where we face face-stripping through the Cosmills, where we help you understand not only what |
| 0:14.0 | we know, but how we know what we know. I'm Fraser Kane, publisher of the universe today, |
| 0:17.7 | with me as always is Dr. Pamela Gay, a senior scientist for the Planetary Science Institute, |
| 0:23.0 | and the Director of Cosmical Quest. Hey, Pamela, how you doing? I'm doing well. How are you doing today, |
| 0:29.1 | good. This, I guess, is not a bonus episode. Actually, this is another bonus episode of |
| 0:34.5 | Tronby Cast. In the alternate universe, I would still be traveling to Japan right now, |
| 0:42.3 | but thanks to the coronavirus, I am not. And so, my loss, you're gained, enjoy this bonus episode |

| 1:50.8 | I know. Yeah. As an immunochimpromised individual who already has lung damage, I am not leaving my |
| 1:58.0 | house. You cannot make me, well, I'm going to garden. I'm not going to leave my yard. Yeah. |
| 2:03.0 | I won't get vitamin D efficiency. Yeah. We will have fresh ground meat. Yeah. So, I'm currently on the, |
