What would that world look like to you?

Hey, shortwavers, Emily Kwong here with a quick favor to ask.

Can you send us a voice memo to shortwave at NPR.org with your questions about science and specifically about your local environment?

That would help a lot.

Include your name, where your home is, and your question, and we might consider it for a future episode.

Thank you so much.
