Hi Science Quickly listeners, I'm Bre, Associate Book Sector at Scientific American.
If you love the stories we share here on the podcast,
over at ScientificAmerican.com, there's a whole world of stories waiting for you.
You'll find my book recommendations and curated reading lists,
along with deeply reported articles and science news that helps you stay informed,
curious, and connected.
I love finding books that push me to think about the world in new ways and hope our stories do this for you too.
And if you're in New York, join me on November 20th at 7.30 p.m.
at Greenlight Bookstore for a panel discussion with some of the incredible authors we recommended this year.
Now, if you believe in the power of great science storytelling like me,
please consider subscribing to Scientific American at scientificamerican.com slash getsiam slash signs quickly to help support everything we do.
Happy Monday, listeners!
For Scientific American Science Quickly, I'm Rachel Feldman.
Today, instead of our usual news roundup, I'm here to introduce you to our new interim host.
I'm actually going on parental leave for a little bit and I'll be gone until sometime in the spring of 2026.
But the amazing award-winning Kendra Pierre-Lewis is here to fill in for me while I'm gone.
And today we figured we would chat about who she is and what she likes to write about so that you could get to know her.
Kendra, welcome.
Here, Rachel.
I was going to be like, thanks for having me.
