In 1995 Argonne National Laboratory built a machine known as the Advanced Photon Source (“APS”) which generates X-rays capable of detecting the atomic structure of many different substances, including viruses. Over the last two and a half decades, scientists have used the APS to help develop more effective vaccines against infectious diseases.

The cold weather and short days that come with winter can be gloomy, so let’s brighten them up with some science! These easy experiments are designed to help us learn about science from the comfort of our homes… with a few quick, bundled trips outside. The cold air can help us learn about chemistry and physics by changing the way that atoms and molecules–the tiny things that make up everything around us–interact with each other. We included a few experiments here for you and encourage you to try them all, but they can all be done separately. The materials should be easy to come by, or ones that you already own, but we included links just in case!

Dear C2ST supporters,
We at the Chicago Council on Science and Technology have prided ourselves on our adaptability in the face of changing conditions in the world of STEM, Chicago, and beyond. Over our 10+ years of service to the Chicago community we’ve organized programs for all types of settings, subjects, speakers, and venues.

As many as 50,000 students, faculty and staff on the campuses of the University of Illinois are tested twice a week for the COVID-19 virus, and a multimodal approach that the University developed has dropped positivity rates to less than a quarter of one percentage point.

As far as science and technology topics go, the environment is a broad, multifaceted, and vitally important subject to explore. Over the last few years, C2ST has held numerous talks, discussions, and events built around a variety of environmental challenges and opportunities. Naturally, many of our discussions were focused on climate destabilization–its origins, its implications, and the methods by which humankind can turn back the tide of impending collapse.
What follows are our ten most popular programs on C2ST TV. Continue reading “Our Top 10 Climate, Energy, & Environment Programs”
