The following program is a glimpse into the world of science

A world that is all around us, inside and out
Across every form of life
Every interaction of chemistry
And every force in nature

From the beginning of time
To the cold, dark, meaningless end of the universe

From complex systems
To simple solutions

From a child’s questioning mind
To lifetimes of researchers in pursuit of answers
And always, no matter how much we have learned
We find there is much more still to know

The world of science is a big world
Spanning every known subject
And leading us ever into subjects unknown

The world of science is a deeply fascinating place
In every direction
mystery and adventure await
The hardest part is choosing where to start

This is why each week we offer a few suggestions here on

This Week in Science

Some quick science news!

PFAS? 
More like PFAT…

Healing wounds with electricity

Cement
With a negative carbon footprint

Plastic mess in the ocean harbors unexpected life
Coastal species live on plastics in the open ocean. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
