Tuning In to Science
In its own way, science is a lot like ’60s rock ‘n’ roll on AM radio. If you’re old enough, you remember the slogan: “And the hits just keep on comin’.”
With science, the news just keeps on comin’. Somehow, year after year, science never runs out of hit discoveries. From land-based laboratories to the depths of the oceans to remote realms of the cosmos, intrepid investigators find enough novelties in nature each year to fill the pages of thousands of journals and populate the programs of countless conferences.
