Science Open Thread

Well, as usual you can talk about whatever you like, but I've got science links for you, so I'm calling it a "science open thread".

As I mentioned in the previous thread, I'm watching part of a DVD of Rough Science with Son in Ohio. It's the one where they are in Death Valley doing simulated space challenges.

I don't know if I've shared this link here before, but I learned about it from someone on my last project (where we were scoring science tests).

The Radioactive Boy Scout

Honestly, there was a Boy Scout merit badge in atomic energy back in 1991? And that seemed like a good idea to someone?
