Why Science Quickly's Interim Host Kendra Pierre-Louis Hates MayoAnd What It Reveals about Food Psychology
"Today, instead of our usual news roundup, I'm here to introduce you to our new interim host. I'm actually going on parental leave for a little bit, and I'll be gone until sometime in the spring of 2026, but the amazing, award-winning Kendra Pierre-Louis is here to fill in for me while I'm gone. And today we figured we would chat about who she is and what she likes to write about so that you could get to know her."
"Pierre-Louis: I'm a climate reporter, like, mostly by training, and I've been working in climate for a decade now, almost. I think my first job was actually with you ... Feltman: Yes, at Popular Science [laughs]. Pierre-Louis: At Popular Science. Woot, woot! The most important thing, I think, to know about me is that I hate mayonnaise. Feltman: [Laughs.] It's true that there are many accolades I could tack onto your name,"
Rachel Feltman will be on parental leave until spring 2026. Kendra Pierre-Louis will fill in as interim host of Science Quickly. Kendra is an experienced climate reporter with nearly a decade of reporting on climate and environmental topics. Kendra began her career at Popular Science and has won awards for her journalism. Kendra's notable personal detail is a strong dislike of mayonnaise, which she has incorporated into multiple science stories. The program provides listeners with an introduction to Kendra's background, reporting interests, and conversational tone while she hosts in Feltman's absence.
