Spooky Science Volume 1: Salem Science

Hi! I missed you guys since last week!! Seriously, I love doing this podcast and if you are reading this, I love you too! Anyway, I thought we would get spooky for our thirteenth episode and talk about the science behind the Salem Witch Trials. It was awful and sad, and definitely a different episode than I normally upload so I hope you give it a listen!! Thank you for listening and if you enjoyed it, or not, leave a rating or review!
