What are some of the bills relating to science and education being voted upon in the Kentucky House and Senate this year? The legislative session ends on March 30, so there is still time to let your representatives know your opinions. Then, learn the secret behind the 'self-healing' concrete made by ancient Romans. How can Roman concrete last for 2000 years? Finally, hear about the planets and constellations we can see in the night sky in March. Here's how to spot Jupiter and Venus!
