Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!
Lo’ as I sit at this silicon computer,
Thinking thoughts in an organic stupor,
What to my visual senses should appear,
But, more stories about our world,
For all to hold dear.
Though some tales may cause fear,
We’ll make it clear,
That all that we might learn,
Is rarely cause for concern.
(Except for maybe some of those really scary things, like infectious viruses and malicious AI and you know, stuff like that)
As science is a great tool,
And, you aren’t a fool,
Because you’re listening to,
This Week in Science!
Some quick science news!

Cup Of Cell Culture Coffee?

The better for male sea snakes to find female mates?
