If you're looking for something fun and educational to do with your family, make plans to be at the University of Wisconsin-Superior Saturday, April14, for Science Fest, presented by UW-Superior Students of Science.

Everyone's favorite astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyslon has released a 4 minute video that he hopes will change the minds of some Americans.  He says that these words may be the most important he has ever spoken.  Is America standing in denial of science?

Last week we were all talking about the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament, and getting hyped up about Hermantown & Grand Rapids.  In the midst of that, I had a listener reach out to me and tell me how proud she was of this group of teens that were competing in a regional tournament for Destination Imagination.  I had never heard of this competition, but now it's something I'm going

A new scientific study has come out saying that taking a hot bath is better for you than taking a hot shower.  It says you can actually burn calories in a hot bath, and it helps people with their blood sugar.

Today is the culmination of years worth of work as scientists in the UK cook the first ever lab grown hamburger.   This is a big deal.  Food shortages are inevitable as world population explodes.  More and more countries, (like China) are raising cattle for beef consumption and it's drastically increasing the amount of greenhouse gases.  This could be the solution, but would you eat it?

Something very strange happens at the 1:15 point in this video. When these three clear solutions are combined on a stir plate, the result changes color — and keeps changing!

In anticipation of the upcoming release of 'Skyfall,' the 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise, we've explored five of our favorite Bond gadgets and put them to the test of reality.
