World Science Festival - New York

Last June 8, the wife and I went to New York to observe the World Science Festival in Washington Square Park in New York. It was a fun event and the kids had a lot of fun also. There were plenty of booths, science demos, and the wife was also able to watch a show narrated by Liev Schreiber.

It was nice to see demonstrations and it was nicer to see people, especially kids, enjoying science applications. There was however, a grinch in the festivities: while the wife and I were watching the liquid nitrogen demos, an oldish woman huffed and puffed away from the stage saying "It's mostly about science!!!" "Ah, ma'am, you are in a science festival..." Is something I would have said to her...

I was a former high school Physics teacher and I always find it nice to see science being promoted to the masses. One cannot get enough of science in our lives.
