Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, we want to tell you about our new podcast,
Speaker 1: Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe. Hi.
Speaker 2: I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist, and I think our
Speaker 2: universe is absolutely extraordinary. I work Ancern, smashing particles together
Speaker 2: to try to figure out how it all works, from
Speaker 2: particles to black holes, and to try to unravel some
Speaker 2: of the big mysteries like dark matter and dark energy. Hello.
Speaker 1: I'm Kelly Wienersmith. I have trouble explaining to my parents
Speaker 1: what it is that I do exactly, but at various
Speaker 1: times it's involved jumping into dump trucks full of dead
Speaker 1: fish under a summer sun, long debates over international space law,
Speaker 1: co discovering a parasitoid wasp that emerges through its hosts
Speaker 1: head which is totally mental, and writing science trivia cards
Speaker 1: and well other stuff too. Also with a last name
Speaker 1: like Wienersmith, I have a lot of practice laughing at
Speaker 1: myself and the general absurdity of life.
Speaker 2: Well, you forgot to say that you're also the upcoming
Speaker 2: president of the American Society of Parasitologists, A Hugo Award
Speaker 2: winner and a two time New York Times bestselling author.
Speaker 1: Kelly Well you forgot, Daniel that you're a Fulbright Fellow,
Speaker 1: Sloan Fellow, American Physical Society Fellow, and a Webby Award
Speaker 1: winner and a Daytime Any nominee for your science show
Speaker 1: on PBS.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, basically, we're both nerds. We love learning
Speaker 2: about this extraordinary universe, and we love sharing what we've learned.
Speaker 2: So that's what we're going to do.
Speaker 1: Our new podcast, Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe, is all
Speaker 1: about the mind blowing discoveries we've made about this crazy,
Speaker 1: beautiful cosmos, from the tiniest particles to the biggest blue whales.
Speaker 2: It's also about all of the extraordinary things we have
Speaker 2: yet to discover, the size of the universe, the true
Speaker 2: nature of space and time, the existence of extraterrestrials, and
Speaker 2: whether there's dark matter floating around Uranus.
Speaker 1: Was that a joke? I don't know. I love it.
Speaker 1: Each Tuesday and Thursday, we take an hour long dive
Speaker 1: into some science topic, during which time I try to
Speaker 1: suppress by biologists training and keep the poop jokes to
Speaker 1: a minimum.
Speaker 2: So find out what qualifies as minimum poop jokes to
Speaker 2: a biologist and a dark matter physicist and learn all
Speaker 2: about our amazing and beautiful universe on Daniel N. Kelly's
Speaker 2: Extraordinary Universe every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 2: Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
