Sciencing Things Sciencily: Sciencing Harder, Monday

Philomena was sitting at the front of the class, at the desk, the chicken perched on her shoulder and a very intense look on her face.

"D'you hear that?" she said. She turned her head quickly, but saw... nothing. "I swear I heard something," she muttered. "Sound's weird, innit? It's all waves and bits, like the ocean, but sometimes you hear sound when there isn't any. 'Cause of the waves, they go through everything."

It was entirely possible she hadn't slept well last night.

"I've been trying to figure out how earworms happen," she said. "I can't get Despacito out of my head, it's driving me mad. I think it's 'cause of all the oceans around Puerto Rico, there's extra waves, and those waves get in everywhere, like."

Beat.

"Credit goes to whoever can wave this song out of my head."

... and that was it.
