Some time today, you'll probably hear or read a news story related to questions, discoveries, or claims made by scientists. But what do these discoveries and questions mean to you? To our society? To the world? You've probably heard a lot of conflicting or incomplete science information in the news, too. This can be frustrating or confusing. Science is a messy process. And many of us don't know how to be savvy consumers of science information.

We're trying to create exhibits and web content that offer opportunities to dig deeper into science headlines, and give you a chance to talk with each other and with scientists about your questions and concerns.

What's next? How about an exhibit about cloning? Or West Nile virus? Or the search for life on other planets? Or invasive flying carp? We're just getting started working on the next topics. If you have an idea you'd like to share, become a part of the Current Science community via this website and let us know what you're thinking!
