I’m trying to think of something optimistic to say
to start the show with a big hooray
but with the state of things as they are
it’s getting harder to remember
that there is still more to discover
that people will always seek
to learn more
to be curious, ask questions
that will be answers tomorrow.
Though today might be dark
we can look to the light
and fill ourselves with knowledge tonight
here on This Week in Science
Coming up next…
