Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!
In a world where creating confusion is an art form, facts are treated like fickle things
Where algorithms shape opinions faster than a research rat can catch a cold
Where science can be drowned out by airwaves of propaganda
There remains a beacon… not necessarily of hope,
But a flickering in the darkness all the same
A signal cutting through the static,
A conversation carried on by giants
A method slinking past the madness
The scientific method.
Each week, we gather here to celebrate the victories of science
wrestle with its puzzling defeats
and share the wonders that each reveals.
The science we discuss is real, reviewed, and recent
So recent, in fact, that we named the show…
This Week in Science!
