Science Friday

Heather Peckham Emerson Thrilled about the solar energy show today(11/20). As a high school science teacher (physics, chemisry,and biology) this would be an excellent concept to present to my students. Is there a transcript of this show?

Science Friday CERN says clockwise circulating beam was established in the LHC this evening. Low-energy collisions expected about a week from now. First real physics experiments there expected for 2010.
Janis Joseph Brentano I have a question about the new mammography guidelines that I haven't seen addressed yet. I live in the Northwest and have heard that we have some of the highest rates of breast cancer in the US. Do the screening guidelines address regionality?
Marilyn I am so excited about hearing of the progress being made at MIT from today's show's Daniel Nocera regarding solar / splitting water to O2 and Hydrogen for potential for hydrogen fuel production in the near future! [Hurry hurry!] Love Sci Fri on OPB!.. this is one of the programs I can't live without... [*Huge* Sci Fri fan!] ~Ira and co. I know you'll keep up the great work!

With all due respect to the brilliant men and women working on the various space programs, I have yet to hear a "why" that resonates with me. I worry about the impacts of repeatedly blasting through the delicate ozone layer and of the junk we leave behind. I find the notion of colonization and expansion offensive and... wonder whether it would be necessary if we took more care with our own planet. I am reminded of the book "Wump World" by Bill Peet.Read More
Emily Graham It's so lovely to be listening in Chicago again!
Jack Colwell If it's Friday, it must be time for Science Friday - woo-HOO! - starting right now on your local NPR station. (That's KQED 88.5 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area.)
Science Friday On 11/20 - in our first hour, we'll check in with the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene annual meeting, talk about living and working in space, and hear about an advance in the chemistry of solar power. In our second hour, a look at the new reccomendations regarding mammography, and a conversation with DA Henderson, who led the WHO's Global Smallpox Eradication Campaign.
Ashok Bhargav Solar Energy, Show Nov 20: Question for your quest, is there a Moors law on how fast the solar energy cost / efficiency is coming down?

Setting it in stone -- see how one INL researcher's work could help lock CO2 deep underground.

Jordan Swahn Science Friday is great but we need Science Sunday through Monday with Ira. 1 day just isn't enough
D. Lee Penn Why don't scientest use Hydrogen filled baloons for lifting weather and other unmanned equipment into the atmosphere. If those baloons catch fire, who cares. Hydrogen has a lot more lift per unit volume than helium and its much less expensive too. It's time we realized that we can handle hydrogen safely.
