A broad-based anti-venom? Cool! 🐍

Getting bit 200 times to help develop it? 😱

A science podcast that can work in reference to “The Princess Bride?” Inconceivable! 🤣

Love that @MineralCup got a shoutout in today's #NPRShortWave episode for nicknaming #Zircon as The Time Lord. Brought me back to the fun of posting all the #DoctorWho memes during #MinCup2022. Ahhhh, happy memories.

Corey Gray Is Picking Up Cosmic Vibrations

A pivotal week in Corey Gray's life began with a powwow in Alberta and culminated with a piece of history: <a href="https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/page/press-release-gw170817">the first-ever detection </a>of gravitational waves from the collision of two neutron stars. Corey was on the graveyard shift at LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory in Hanford, Washington, when the historic signal came. Corey tells Short Wave Scientist in Residence Regina G. Barber about the discovery, the "Gravitational Wave Grass Dance Special" that preceded it, and how he got his Blackfoot name.
