The Latest Stories From KQED Science
Hello, Science enthusiasts!
We're going to be making some exciting changes to this newsletter in the coming weeks. Starting September 6th, this newsletter will have a fresh look and feel, plus a new name! We'll still be bringing you the science coverage you know and love, just with more content from Deep Look, our show that gives audiences a front row seat to nature's tiny wildlife wonders. The refreshed newsletter will be called Nature Unseen and come from natureunseen@kqed.org, so be on the lookout. We can't wait to show you what we've been working on! |
