14 分钟Hi, I'm Clara Moskowitz, Senior Editor for Space and Physics at Scientific American.
Like many kids, I once dreamed of becoming an astronaut.
While I never made it to space, my work at Scientific American has given me the next best thing,
exploring the cosmos through stories and sharing its wonders with science lovers like you.
When I research a story, I immerse myself in the reporting to bring you an exciting and accurate account.
Over the years, I've covered breathtaking rocket launches,
visited one of the world's highest altitude telescopes in Chile, and even trained for suborbital spaceflight.
Space is vast, beautiful, and full of the unexpected.
Taking a moment to look beyond our daily routines and reflect on its mysteries can be a powerful escape.
Join me on this journey of discovery.

For Scientific American Science Quickly, I'm Rachel Feldman.
With everything from bird flu to neurovirus making headlines these days,
it can feel like the world is just packed with dangerous pathogens we need protection from.
What if we could get a hand from an all-natural disinfectant that was more than 100 times more effective than bleach but so gentle and safe
that you could spray it into your eyes?
It might sound like the sort of quackery you'd get sold in a shady Facebook group,
but such a compound really does exist.
It's called hypochlorous acid, and in addition to all of those awesome qualities I just listed,
it's also cheap, plus you can make it at home.
