Today, we will bring you a special episode, which is the live recording of the Science Gong Show. The Gong Show is a science communication event where scientists give brief explanations of their research without using any jargon. The audience can ring cowbells or hit the Gong when they capture jargon. At this moment, the speaker needs to pause and explain the jargon in more understandable terms. In this episode, we will bring you five intriguing talks that covers mosquitos, the echolocation system of bats, how to design strong structure with artificial intelligence, how the brain focuses on a conversation in a noisy environment, and technologies to analyze tremors. We hope you enjoy this episode and please tune in for the Gong Show special part two!

Huge thanks to Project Bridge for organizing the event, Charm City Meadswork for providing the venue, and Jason for recording the live audio!
