Hi, it's Meg Wallitzer with a great listening recommendation. We've become regular listeners of Curiosity Weekly, a podcast from Discovery that helps make sense of some of the biggest questions and ideas shaping our world. Each week host Dr. Samantha Yamin and her guests unpack breaking science and tech news with expert guests who make it all make sense.

Did you know that neuroscientists are studying TikTok to figure out which chemicals are released

in your brain to make you so obsessed? Or why clean beauty products and dupes wouldn't exist

without cosmetic chemistry. Every week, the Curiosity Weekly podcast helps you learn something new.

We love how Curiosity Weekly brings cutting-edge science into everyday life. Some of our favorite

Curiosity Weekly episodes include what you really need to know about sunscreen, SPF, and skincare,

why there is so much false advertising, misleading labels,

and supposed miracle cures in the industry, and how as a consumer you can figure out what's

fact and what's fiction. And this parasitic fungus is science's favorite horror story.

There's a zombie fungus that takes over insects. Scientists are

studying real-life zombie parasites. It's actually just like The Last of Us. I'm going to play a short

Curiosity Weekly audio clip to help you get a feel for the show. Science is constantly evolving,

with new discoveries happening every week. Cracking your genetic code,

microbes surviving in space, just a glimpse of the breakthroughs happening right now. I'm Dr.

Samantha Amin, and I'm the new host of Curiosity Weekly from Discovery. Each episode, we dive into

cutting-edge topics.

With expert guests, we make sense of the biggest questions shaping our world.
