This week in science: Loud birds, eating with company, and asteroid samples

I READ THE WHOLE THING SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS THESE ASTEROID SAMPLES COULD REVEAL WHAT THE EARLY EARTH WAS ACTUALLY LIKE WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THIS ALL STARTED ON NPR'S SHORT WAVE PODCAST ROUNDING UP SCIENCE TOPICS AND THEY ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF EATING WITH COMPANY AND THE THING IS THEY DUG INTO REALLY LOUD BIRDS TOO WHICH FEELS LIKE A MAJESTIC NATURE DOCUMENTARY UNFOLDING IN THE BRIGHT MORNING LIGHT WHICH MEANS WE HAVE SPACE ROCKS AND SHARED MEALS AND VERY NOISY CREATURES AND THE ARTICLE DOES NOT EVEN EXPLAIN THE DETAILS OF HOW ANY OF IT WORKS BUT I AM POSITIVE THIS EXPLAINS OUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE. ANYWAY WHOSE ROUND IS IT?

SO SOMEBODY FINALLY LOOKED INTO IT, HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS YET? OF COURSE YOU HAVE NOT, BUT NPR'S SHORT WAVE PODCAST JUST COVERED THREE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL REALITIES OF OUR PLANET AND THE FIRST ONE IS REALLY LOUD BIRDS, JUST NATURE'S SCREAMING CHOIR, AND THE SECOND IS THE LITERAL BENEFITS OF EATING WITH COMPANY WHICH FEELS DEEPLY PROFOUND RIGHT NOW, AND THEN THEY WENT STRAIGHT TO THE COSMOS WITH ACTUAL ASTEROID SAMPLES THAT COULD TELL US WHAT THE EARLY EARTH WAS LIKE, AND THE WILD THING IS THE PODCAST SUMMARY DOES NOT EXPLAIN THE SPECIFICS OF HOW THE ROCKS OR THE DINNER CHATS WORK, BUT IT IS ALL LINKED LIKE A GLORIOUS NATURE DOCUMENTARY, SO NOW WE HAVE DEEP SPACE TRUTHS AND NOISY WILDLIFE AND SHARED DINING ALL SITTING TOGETHER. OK I AM GETTING ANOTHER ROUND, THINK ABOUT IT.

NPR's Short Wave podcast explored what asteroid samples can reveal about early Earth, the benefits of eating meals with company, and really loud birds.
