And Newsletter Editor Christie Wilcox joins host Sarah Crespi with an extravaganza of meeting stories including a chat with some of the authors of this year’sThis is the Science Podcast for February 23rd, 2024. I'm Sarah Crespi.

The reason I'm inspired that way, it comes from collaborating with others who have been studying candle wax. There's also a very beautiful idea.
