Exploring the fascinating connection between science and baseball, from physics to biochemistry, and how one individual's passion for both fields shaped a career in science education. The chapter also highlights the influence of climate change on various aspects of baseball gameplay, impacting home runs and pitches.

It's baseball season! And when we here at Short Wave think of baseball, we naturally think of physics. To get the inside scoop on the physics of baseball, like how to hit a home run, we talk to Frederic Bertley, CEO and President of the Center of Science and Industry, a science museum in Columbus, Ohio. He also talks to host Regina G. Barber about how climate change is affecting the game.
