Hi, my name is Eduardo Scades and I live in Valparaiso, Chile.

I want to give a huge, feliz companions to Chalway, hoping for a long future of this program.

We are listening to Chalway from MPN.

Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday to you.

I love birthdays.

And cake.

And celebrating with people you care about.

And cake.

Right producer, Berli McCoy, I get it, I get it.

You want to cut straight to the cake.

I could talk to you about this for like hours.

This is Adriana Patterson.

She got her PhD studying biochemistry and then discovered a knack for baking.

She now has a YouTube baking channel called Sugarology, where she makes these science-themed baking videos.
