People are actually reading my (largely disliked!) Christmas Carol au and i love you all

Give Heart Cells a Beat, an exhibit at the Exploratorium in San Francisco that allows someone to grasp a heart rate monitor to make heart cells pulse. In this context, it figures into a fanfic, in which Kate Sharma confirms Anthony Bridgerton is attracted to her when she makes his heart rate increase by whispering closely into his ear.

Going to a holiday party at the Exploratorium, a very real museum that figures prominently into ch. 2, lol
