Hey everybody, Maddie Safaya here. And Emily Kwong, we are off today for President's Day, but tomorrow we're kicking off something special on shortwave for the rest of the week. Yes, in honor of Black History Month, we're focusing in on Black scientists and educators, people doing incredible work and pushing for a world where science serves everyone. On the shelves of bookstores, in the classroom, on your phone, and in the lab. There's so much Black excellence out there in the sciences to talk about. And on Saturday, we'll have a special episode from our friends at ThruLine about the life and work of a very famous science fiction writer. Yes, yes, yes. I'm so excited about that one, Emily. Me too. We're excited about this whole week. So join us. And thanks for listening to Shorewave.
