Book Review: Taking Care of Your “Girls” By Marisa C. Weiss
We all have different names from our breasts, some of us call them our “boobs,” our “tits,” or as they as Marisa C. Weiss refers to them in her book, our “girls.” Growing up, we have all heard different names for the strange objects the hang from our chests, but I’m sure that all girls can identify with the confusion of how exactly to deal with our changing bodies during puberty and how to actually take care of our girls.
Tap Water vs Bottled: A War of Epic Proportions
When people hear the words tap water, the first words that come to mind are usually, “dirty,” sink,” “pipes,” and, “nasty.” Perhaps this is the reason that bottled water is consumed largely around the entire country. Read more…
Happy Earth Day at Amazonia Brasil
NEW YORK– School children flooded into the Amazonia Brasil exhibit on Pier 17, a 13,000 square foot miniature recreation of the Amazon, a region which in reality spans two million square miles (nearly 5 percent of the Earth’s surface) and is home to an estimated 180 indigenous groups (of which, approximately 70 have never had contact with the outside world).

From Dead Dude To Diamonds

Niagara’s Fury: Experiencing the Maid of the Mist and the Journey Behind the Falls
Last week, my family and I took a trip to Canada’s Niagara’s Falls, and I can honestly say that when I returned to the States that I was completely satisfied with my experience. The Falls were as beautiful and as frighteningly powerful as I could’ve ever dreamed them to be and the attractions that allowed us to journey close to the falls were amazing. One of the first attractions that we did once we arrived on Canada’s side of the falls was to take the Maid of the Mist boat ride. Read more…
Fast Food: Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream
When you’re really craving home made ice cream, it’s no fun waiting the standard 24 hours for the mixture to freeze. You may as well be waiting for hell to freeze over. Read more…
Adrienne Klein’s Radiant Logic Exhibit
“Around my artwork there is often the whiff of a science project,” Adrienne Klein declares in her Artist’s Statement. Indeed, Klein mixes a dose of science and a little something extra into the matrix of each of her pieces, including a dash of philosophy, a pinch of mathematics, and lots of innovation. Read more…
Eco-Friendly Al Gore to Pee on the Bee
The TalkingScience office is fairly eco-friendly; we drink tap water and are planning to get a worm bin. New York is a competitive place though, and it’s tough to “keep up with the Jones’” when your neighbors are the hailed as the most environmentally responsible sky scraper in the world. Read more…

I’ve seen people do some pretty wild things on stage when under the spell of a hypnotist. Read more…
