NPR might think they can corner the market on science with their paltry, particle-deficient Science Friday’s, so it’s time to heat up the particle-accelerator and collide their sham…with a new one! We’re taking it to the next level: the very next day. Introducing Science Saturdays. Get your subatomic particles off on that, NPR! I’m also challenging Stephen Colbert to a science fair-off. We’ll see if he can send a hydrogen rocket into space or if he’ll just end up chasing Richard Branson between the Moon and New York City in his new Virgin Galactic Spaceship.

I’ve dug out a classic and I’m dedicating this episode of Science Saturdays to one of my favorite radio channels (when it’s not the pledge drive at least). Take a peek at Science Projects Handbook for some scientific inspiration. It’s “the actual science experiments of 36 young scientists on the threshold of fascinating careers.”

This is not a reprint people, this is the official, O.G. publication (see back cover). And if you read this book as a child, probably sometime between 1960 & 1970, and you are now a scientist, we are interested in hearing from you.
