DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!
It started a long, long time ago
In a galaxy much closer than you might think
The one you are on the outskirts of in fact
Was it a spark?
A muddy blob at the bottom of an ocean?
A simple interaction of the right combination of chemicals?
However it began, life has come a long way since then.
With domains and kingdoms
Phylums and classes
Families and genuses
Species of all sorts…
Life diversified in a brilliantly mind blowing explosion of possibilities
So much so, so abundantly so…
That it may be easy to forget that it is truly unique
compared to what we have so far been able to see of the rest of the universe.
And out of all those possibilities
Out of all the seemingly endless diversity of living things on earth
You happen to be one of them
A human living thing at that!
Sentient and self aware with a keen brain and modest ability to communicate
And of all the places you could have been in this amazing world
You chose to be here
And we are so happy you are because you are
In for another episode of
This week in Science.
Coming up next…
First up, an interview with Dr. Richelle Tanner!
Dr. Tanner is a climate ecophysiologist at Washington State University. She also communicates about science and climate change, and is a member of the governing council of the National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation, or NNNOCI.
