Welcome to the science podcast for March 15th, 2019. I'm Sarah Crespi. In this week's show, I talk with staff writer Daniel Clary about the many, many theories surrounding fast radio bursts.

These are extremely fast, intense radio signals from outside our galaxy.

And a new telescope that's coming online that might help sort out some of these ideas.

And I talk with staff writer Jennifer Cousin-Frank

about her story on the long-term effects of pediatric cancer treatment. The survival rate for some

pediatric cancers is as high as 90 percent, but many of the survivors have a host of health problems.

Now we have Daniel Clary, a staff writer for science,

and he's going to talk to us about a feature he wrote on fast radio bursts.

Hi, Dan.

Hi.

All right, so they're fast and they're made of radio waves.

What else do we know about them?

Well, very little, actually.

Only about 65 of them have ever been seen, as far as we know.
