Only a third of bachelor’s degrees earned in the U.S. Are in a stem field. Robofest in Tampa, Florida challenges children to put their programing skills to the test while inspiring future generations to pursue careers in math and science.

Long Island’s Cold Spring Harbor laboratory has been the site of monumental scientific discoveries, in cancer research, plant biology and genomics, and is home to eight Nobel laureates. Now the research institution celebrates 125 years of scientific study and breakthroughs. Reporter Andrea Vasquez has the story.

Plants are the foundation of our ecosystem, but with rainfall on the decline in California, this important link has been hit with some new challenges. Up next, we meet a research team working to determine which plants will be best able to endure this evolving arid climate.

The brand of science dedicated to creating new chemicals is known as synthetic chemistry. One team at Yale University is using synthetic chemistry to develop new approaches that will help enable our understanding and treatment of human diseases. Joining us to discuss this research is Dr. David Spiegel, Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacology at Yale.

With the success of the transportation provider, Uber, on demand personal service apps seem to be popping up everywhere, with concierge services including on demand doctors, florists, and even bartenders, getting what you need delivered right to your door is easier than ever. We sit down with Wall Street Journal columnist Geoffrey Fowler who took it upon himself to test out some of these apps.

Bats play an important role in our environment and our economy by preying on insects that destroy cash crops, by keeping mosquito populations in check, and by helping to pollinate trees. Now, bats are threatened by a mysterious disease called white-nose syndrome that’s marching across the US. As bat populations rapidly decrease, a coordinated national response has risen to fight the disease.

Ainissa Ramirez is a self-proclaimed “Science Evangelist.” She’s calling for big changes in science education and sits down with Hari Sreenivasan to discuss what she has in mind and her latest book,Newton’s Football. To learn more, watch Ainissa Ramirez’s TED-Ed talk on “Magical Metals, How Shape Memory Alloys Work”.

At Utah State University, the intersection between art and science has come alive in a revolutionary exhibit. Up next, we take a look at the inspiration behind ARTsySTEM: The Changing Climates of the Arts and Sciences.

True or False? The history of solar panels traces back to 1839.

Sally Ride was an American astronaut and physicist

Sometimes it seems that dinosaurs are just about everywhere: in films, books, comics, and even theme parks. And with the help of the Dinosaur Whisperer and his team, we try to untangle dino fact from fiction in our continuing feature, “The Dinosaur Show.” This episode…Jurassic World. For more from the Dinosaur Whisperer, go towww.youtube.com/TheDinosaurShow.

Thanks to a law passed by the FDA in 1990, nutritional labels are found on many food products in the United States. But 25 years later, we’re still struggling to make smart food choices in spite of the information in front of us. Now, some startups and entrepreneurs are revolutionizing the way we learn about what’s on our plate. Here to discuss the trend is serial entrepreneur Brian Hecht.

Hunting doesn’t always have to mean killing. Some trophies are waiting to be found if you know when and where to look. Foraging for antlers shed naturally by elk is perfectly legal, but poachers trying to beat everyone to the punch are all too willing to break the rules. This story was produced by KCTS 9 for EarthFix, a public media partnership to explore environmental issues.

In an effort to combat climate change, many farmers around the country are developing innovative methods of sustainable growing, such as aquaponics. This combination of fish and soilless plant farming is increasing in popularity as a more ecofriendly method of food production. We visit one aquaponics facility in Florida using an intricate system of agricultural engineering.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian scientist who revolutionized our knowledge of the universe.

Being an aviation enthusiast can be exhilarating, and often times, expensive. But now, a group of Orlando engineers is developing a low-cost flight training simulator that could change the way pilots take to the skies. We go “Into the Lab” to get the story.

Some of us may be a little rusty on our high school biology. Fortunately, there are people like our next guest who have devoted their lives to understanding it and to driving the discipline forward. Manolis Kellis, a computational biologist and professor at MIT has contributed to a pioneering effort hailed as “the greatest scientific leap since the mapping of the human genome.”

Ask a Scientist: Shahid Naeem of Columbia University’s Earth Institute answers the question, “Does extinction matter?” When you think about life on Earth, we often think about how it originated three-and-a-half billion years ago and how we’ve had hundreds of millions of species originate since then. But we also think about extinction.

My name is Mordecai-Mark Mac Low and my position is Curator of Astrophysics. In the last century, we have learned that the universe is expanding and that the stuff is it made of is primarily not normal matter. It’s primary something we have called dark matter and something else we are calling dark energy. What do we know about dark energy?
