A couple of science related items in today's media. First an editorial in today's Tribune which seems encouraging but if I understand correctly not all "first world" countries were included in the study. Science scores a bright light for Utah schools http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/opinion/57053475-82/utah-students-countries-sc… And second from today's NPR Fresh Air program. Lots in the interview I found interesting but one thing I'd not thought about was how it's difficult to physically keep control of one's self in micro-gravity without the use of vision. Has me wondering if the same might be said about being in freefall (I think I'll try that with eyes closed and see what happens).
