HOWL-o-ween
Ah, Halloween in Ohio. If you grew up in the Buckeye state, you remember all too well how to pick out a good Halloween costume: It had to be big enough to wear a coat underneath (never know about the weather here!) and no slippery shoes (wet leaves on sidewalks are a hazard, you know) and, of course, nothing that would interfere with your ability to carry a really, really big bag for all that candy you were sure to collect! Well, it’s time again to shiver, haunt and howl! Grab you favorite goblins and go have some fun.

Stem Cells and Brain Drain- -Naturally, They Go Together
While researchers mass-produce embryonic stem cells, in Columbus, Ohio politicians try to walk the fine line between tech and moral issues. Meanwhile, our state’s brain-drain continues. I say, take a stand (in the 21st century) and let the scientists do their thing—here, in Ohio. Then, get on to some issues that NEED political intervention: like really improving school funding. And then the teachers worry about the Science Olympics.
