When you're tired of the humans, come check out all the wild stuff the whales have been up to lately.

We celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek actor, trailblazer, and role model, who symbolized to so many what was possible. She partnered with us to recruit some of the first women and minority astronauts, and inspired generations to reach for the stars.

I’m not sure I’m supposed to say anything about this yet but (now that it’s August 1st I can officially say that) NEXT MONTH I’m releasing a special project in the Radiolab Universe and I’m not sure I’ve ever been so excited about a thing. 🌱

Hi Dr Sophie Hay - I'm a producer with Radiolab hoping to chat with you for a story I'm working on. If you would, please email me at: amcewen[at]wnyc[dot]org Thank you!

After you die, how long will you be remembered? Maybe a few generations? Then poof, it's like you were never here. Forever lost to time. UNLESS - you name a quasi-moon! Millions of years after you're gone, this rock will still remember you💕.
