Happy new queer!

As Dr Cat counts down to midnight on New Year’s Eve, she breaks down the science behind fireworks, sparklers, and glow sticks. It is science that may SPARK joy or GLOW your mind. She’s also thinking about making New Year’s resolutions, and if you’re the kind of person to make them too, she talks about why they can be a good thing psychologically and how to make the most of it. Happy New Year from Science Queeries!
