Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, April 29th, 2019 and I'm

your host Kara Santa Maria. This week we have a great show we're going to be talking to the science writer

Christy Ashwanden but before we do I want to thank those of you who made Talk Nurdie

possible and that includes my top tier patrons

at Patreon.com slash Talk Nurdy.

It's a great way for you to pledge the support of the show,

pledge your support of the show, pledge your support of the show, or the support, I think

they're both correct, because that's kind of the biggest driving force of the show.

Remember Talk Nurdie is and will always be 100% free to download.

And that's because the show heavily relies on contributions from people just like you.

And this week they include Pedro, M Rosario, Barbosa, Phil T-B The Zombie Drummer, David J. E. Smith, Jeffrey Perez, Gabriel

Felipe Herr Emil Gonzalez, Brian Holden, and Jeffrey Sewell. Thank you guys so very much. If you want to hear your name at the top of the show,

just go to Patreon.com slash TalkNurdy and you could read all about it right there.

You could also visit talk nerdy merch.com

if you want to rock some cool what do you think talk nerdy merch?

Yeah? like Talk Nurdy Murch, yeah?

Or you can just tell your friends and your family about the show,

rate and review it on Apple Podcast, Google Podcasts,

or wherever you download your podcast.

All right guys, this is a really fun episode.

I got to finally do an in-person recording, which I love to do,

with Christie Ashwondon.
