"Like redwoods, the Golden Gate Bridge, sourdough bread and high housing prices, science is a key part of the Bay Area's sense of place. The region is home to UC Berkeley, Stanford and other top research universities, a long list of Nobel prize winners, world-famous museums, aquariums, medical centers and many of the planet's leading technology companies. So it should come as no surprise there's a big shin-dig to celebrate science as cool and fun."
"The 12th annual Bay Area Science Festival is scheduled for 11 am to 4 pm Saturday at Koret Quad at UC San Francisco's Mission Bay campus in San Francisco, one block from the Warriors arena. The event is free and open to anyone, with a particular focus on families and kids. This year, UCSF organizers are planning a robot zoo, air rockets, live leopard sharks and a 30-foot-long whale skeleton. They'll have machines to see your own brainwaves."
