Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, April 24th,

All right, let's get into it.

So this week I had the opportunity to chat with Leah Elson.

She's a clinical development scientist, an author,

and a public science communicator.

She's the creator and host of 60 Seconds of Science,

a web series, as well as the String Theory Podcast.

And her new book is coming out June 27, 2023.

So it's in pre-order right now, as we all know if you pre-order a book it helps it with all of those pre-orders

contribute to the first week sales which helps it with any any book list that it may end up on.

So if you're interested, please do go pre-order this book wherever books are sold.

It's called There are No Stupid Questions in Science,

and it's both written and illustrated by here she is

Leah Elson. Well Leah, thank you so much for joining me today. Well thank you so much for

having me today.

I am excited to talk about your new book.
