New Science Museum - Now With Real Science!

OpenYourEyes writes "There is a new science museum, run by the National Academy of Science, that has opened in DC. So what? Unklike many museums which simplify their message or use fake data, the exhibits at the Koshland Science Museum are all based on real research, real reports, and real science. Each one contains references to the research reports and data they are based on. Exhibits on DNA, for example, use actual (and long!) DNA sequences to help illustrate how DNA plays a role in disease, agriculture, and criminology. There are also exhibits on Global Climate Change and The Wonders of Science."

  1. How long until they lose funding? by multi-flavor-geek · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Isn't the governments position that global warming doesn't exist? That will be interesting, I live in a semi-artic area of Minnesota and I have noticed that it is much warmer now then it was when I was a kid. I remember many mornings waiting out for the bus when it was twenty+ below zero, and now we only see it that cold on alternating years, what gives?
    I do have to admit that it got unusually cold for a few days this winter. It was difficult to even get my cigarette lit the day it was 35 below, I give props to the old Toyota though, it started just fine!
