Hey everyone. We want to tell you about our new podcast, Daniel and Kelly's

extraordinary universe. Hi, I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist and I think our

universe is absolutely extraordinary.

I work at Cerns smashing particles together to try to figure out how it all works, from particles to black holes,

and to try to unravel some of the big mysteries, like dark matter and dark energy.

Hello, I'm Kelly Wienersmith.

I have trouble explaining to my parents what it is that I do exactly, but at various times

it's involved jumping into dump trucks full of dead fish under a summer sun, long debates over international space law,

co-discovering a parasitoid wasp that emerges through its host's head, which is totally mental,

and writing science trivia cards,

and well, other stuff too.

Also, with a last name like Wienersmith,

I have a lot of practice laughing at myself

and the general absurdity of life.

Well you forgot to say that you're also the upcoming president of the American Society

of Parasitologist, a Hugo Award winner, and a two-time New York Times best-selling author Kelly.

Well you forgot Daniel that you're a Fulbright fellow, Sloane fellow, American Physical

Society fellow, and a Webby Award winner and a daytime any nominee for your science show on

PBS. All right well basically we're both nerds. We love learning about

this extraordinary universe and we love sharing what we've learned.

So that's what we're gonna do.
