I had a great conversation with Christina Agapakis, a science blogger at Scientific American and a scientist studying synthetic biology. In this episode of Bloggingheads.tv’s Science Saturday, you’ll find out what Christina learned when she traced her allergies on a phylogenetic tree, why she’s currently obsessed with symbiotic bacteria, why I think adults need more opportunities for informal science education after they’ve left school, and how scientists and educators are trying to address clashes between science and culture.
In the video, I talked about my experience at the 6th Science Center World Congress. For a little more on that, check out the story I wrote about why adults need science museums to pay more attention to them.
