There are werewolves around here
There are werewolves around here
And they’re waiting
For the moon to appear
There are witches in the woods
There are witches in the woods
And I don’t know, what they’re brewing
But I hear it’s very good
There are vampires in this town
There are vampires in this town
And they’re waiting for the sun to go down
There are mummies singing songs
There are mummies singing songs
And I don’t know what they singing
But the black cat sings along
There’s a horseman without a neck
There’s a horseman without a neck
Which can only mean
This Week in Science is coming up next…
Let’s start with some quick science news
It Wasn’t Aliens
Turns out it was us!… again.
Mystery of the Mummies
Who were these people, and what were they doing with boats in a desert?
Snowshoe hares are dressed up for the wrong holiday
But it’s working for them, nonetheless.
No New Neutrino
The MicroBooNE experiment has not found evidence of the sterile neutrino, once again affirming the Standard Model of Physics.
Sitting Bull
A lock of hair tells the story of inheritance.
Tell The Tooth
All tusks are teeth, but not all teeth are tusks.
