DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!
The world is not always as it appears to be!
But more often than not…
it is exactly as it appears.
The rain falls down from the sky like rain and
The sun shines with the brightness of the sun
The fog was as thick as a thick fog
Sometimes putting all your eggs in one basket is just an efficient way of collecting eggs
And, while not every wasteland is vast…
(there are modest wastelands as well you know.)
A rose can be as red as a rose, wherever red roses are found.
Still, there are some places in the world where the world as you find it can be full of surprises.
The world of dumpster diving!
Or more to the theme of this show, the world of science.
Finding the world as it is, describing it as you find it,
Without analogy, or simile or cliche exaggeration…
Can be more inspiring than a poetic interpretation of unicorns in heat.
Science is the art of revealing a thing as it is
And in that spirit we bring you a show about this week’s science news that we call…
This week in science,
Coming Up Next…
Let’s talk about science!
