    Happy Square Root Day!

    This week's show landed on a very rare day... one that only occurs nine times each century. That's right 03/03/09 was square root day. We celebrated by offering a t-shirt to the first caller who could tell when to expect the next such special day. Yay for t-shirts and square roots!


    The stories of the week began with a bunch of super big stem cell news. Reserchers imaged Alp-like mountains beneath Antarctic ice. Dirty nukes aren't really very dirty, and old nukes is good nukes? We covered the week in dead people: footprints, tools, and hair. NASA's looking at Mars again. Scientists think HIV is tricksy. People drink too much water, and the Chinese crashed into the moon. Minion Judy thinks we should all check out the California science education standards.


    Listen to it all here.

    Next week, we will return with more science news...
