Nope, I'm not up on that latest article in the news that you saw two hours ago.
Or no, I actually don't know that much about that particular rocket that just got shot in space.

You're working on a new medicine, let's say, for malaria.

I know how it produces in the liver.

That's more than most people know.
So that's why it's hard to get a vaccine for it.
Okay, we finally got one.
And so you're in these rooms with these scientists who are working on this, and they are on the cutting edge of science.
So feeling like I knew enough to ask the right questions, and I finally just had to, again, kind of be willing to be myself.
