This week we talk about all the wonderful feedback we’ve been getting, plus about how rocks can bend and break. We then tie it all up by talking about material properties of wood and how staining a violin can change its sound.

We spend a lot of time working with our hands, in fact that’s why we can do science at all. It’s shocking the amount of science ignorance and lack of skill floating around. This got us wondering we are bad at science and where the practical skills we have are going. Then we found some articles! There’s a good reason Americans are horrible at science Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) Understanding Science from Berkeley Holiday Inn Express Example Milgram Experiment The Case for Working With Your Hands (NYTimes) Shop Class as Soulcraft Adam Savage on Arts and Skills Fun Paper Friday Art, science, math, and pizza.
