Here’s the (sacred) dirt! Stef’s got a scan update, and it’s hard to node what to think! Is it cancer—or just a socially starved coworker? The trials and tribulations never end! Amy’s had a (don’t worry) breast biopsy (it’s not what it sounds like) and boy is this room dimly lit. Perhaps she needs an EMBER to light things up. In RATS, cancer cells in space grow at the figurative speed of light. Hey, some of us go to the moon to study cancer, and some of us just get cancer and go on NPR— guess which ones we are? The NPR ones! Check out Stef and Amy on OPB’s Think Out Loud, and then hear us appear again during their end of the year Best of 2023 episode! It was an honor just to be nominated! We’d like to thank our producer Nathan, and YOU for rating us!
