Show notes

Another Vergecast is up! We have a CES Twitter live show reunion, featuring Nilay, Dieter, Megan, and Paul discussing this week in news. As Nilay mentions throughout the show, the gang has senioritis as they prepare to move to new offices next week... just FYI.

Also, Verge science editor Liz Lopatto returns to the show to discuss the new administration’s action toward the science world, and how the scientists are handling it.

If you keep listening, you’ll come upon a talk about net neutrality — another debate sparked by the recent transfer of power.

Look, we’re like 15 minutes over our regular time so theres plenty of other stuff in between that to look forward to.
