This week Flora and I – along with the rest of the staff – are headed to Boise, Idaho to do a special remote broadcast from Boise State University. Tickets to the event are sold out, but Boise State students, faculty, and staff can listen in at special “Science Friday” listening stations on campus.

Special thanks to the Micron Foundation, Idaho National Laboratory, Boise State Public Radio, and the STEM Station at Boise State for making it happen.

We're excited for the trip (and can't wait to try the Basque food). If you're in Boise, we hope you'll join us!
