At Popular Science, we report and write dozens of science and tech stories every week.

And while most of the stuff we stumble across makes it into our articles, we also find plenty

of weird facts that we just keep around the office.

So we figured, why not share those with you?

Welcome to the weirdest thing I learned this week from the editors of Popular Science.

I'm Rachel Feldman.

I'm Sarah Kylie Watson and I'm Lauren Young.

Lauren, welcome to the show.

Hello.

I'm Sarah, having me.

I'm excited to be making my very first appearance.

Listeners, Lauren is making her weirdest thing debut.

She is our newest associate editor at Popular Science.

And you're going to be hearing her voice, not just on weirdest thing, but also on our sibling

podcast, ask us anything.

And that's coming back pretty soon.

So if you are not subscribed yet, search for Ask Us Anything and add it to your feed.

And definitely catch up on Saisons 1 and 2 because they were awesome.

And feature lots of friendly, familiar voices from weirdest thing.

So on the weirdest thing I learned this week, we start by each offering up a little tease

et cetera.
