Hey everyone, it's Mary.

Today's show has just the tiniest pinch of foul language.

You've been warned.

I'm wondering if you and I can start out

by talking about what your Twitter mentions look like

right now.

Oh my god.

Shannon Paulis writes about science here at Slate.

They were really, really bad after the piece published.

I'm very addicted to Twitter anyway.

And every time I opened up the app,

it would just feel like dozens and dozens of new notifications.

A lot of them telling me to eat poop and die.

And I had to give my phone to Matt, my boyfriend, for a while.

I was like, you can't, I can't be near this.

It's causing me pain.

What are people so upset with you about?

I suggested it might be maybe perhaps time for us

as a collective group to consider that we don't need

to mask all the time outside.

You are being so careful.

Yes.
