Hey, science nerds. This is Kelso Harper, one of the producers of Science Quickly. This week, we're looking back at some of our favorite episodes of the year.

I chose one that features Sophie Bushwick, our beloved and recently departed technology editor.

Oh, don't worry, she's fine. She's just going to be a senior news editor at New Scientist,

which is awesome, but we're really going to miss her.

I had so much fun recording this episode with Sophie.

In it, she tells me all about how researchers are beginning to use artificial intelligence to decode animal communication, which is just bananas.

Our conversation genuinely blew my mind, and I hope you enjoy it too.

You're listening to science quickly.

Have you ever wondered what songbirds are actually saying to each other with all of their chirping?

Or what your cat could possibly be yowling about so early in the morning?

Well, powerful new technologies are helping researchers decode animal communication and even

begin to talk back to non-humans.

Advanced sensors and artificial intelligence might have us at the brink of interspecies

communication.

Today, we're talking about how scientists are starting to communicate with creatures like bats and honeybees, and how these conversations are forcing us to rethink our relationship with other species.

I'm Kelso Harper, multimedia editor at Scientific American. And I'm Sophie Bushwick,

tech editor. You're listening to Science Quickly.
