slash UK slash AI for people. Hi, this is Steve Murski and this is a joint edition of Science

Talk and 60 Second Science. We're going to run over 60 seconds.

Obviously, the entire East Coast has been walloped by this Sandy storm, and I'm on the phone right now with Scientific Americans editor-in-chief Mariette D. Christina, and how are you, Marriette?

Hi, Steve. Well, we're doing okay here. I mean, it's a little bit more unpredictable than we're used to in 167 years of publishing Scientific American, but everybody's hanging in.

I should point out, I'm in the northern Bronx in New York City and I was very fortunate to not lose power. We had very high winds,

almost no rain, really. Everybody to my right on my street lost power when a transformer

blew. My lights just flickered, but the power stayed on. And Marriott is up in Westchester County about 20 miles north of me,

and you did lose power. We did. We lost power and internet. And Steve, when you just called me a few

minutes ago, were my first call when the internet service was restored and phone service.

I'm honored.

So was I.

So let's talk about, I'm sure, you know, our faithful listeners and readers are curious about how we're functioning right now.

So can you bring us up to date on the Scientific American situation in the aftermath of Sandy.

So scientific American, for those who have been following us, would have seen that throughout the

hurricane and the aftermath, we've managed to keep our website updated every day.

Our news team has been involved in that.

Special shout out to Robin Lloyd, the news editor, who is stuck in Raleigh, North Carolina, where she was attending the National Association of Science Writers' annual meeting when the hurricane came by.
