BILLINGS — Girls who may be pursuing a career in Science, Technology, Engineering and/or Math (STEM) received some encouragement on Saturday.
Girls-n-Science provided an opportunity to learn about careers in these fields at 31 different booths.
Girls from fourth through eighth grades were invited to participate in the event held in Alterowitz Gym at the Montana State University-Billings's campus.

The event used to be called "Chicks-n-Science," but the same ideas are still used now to introduce girls to STEM.
"If they don't know how fun it can be and they don't know that those options are even out there, then they tend to go towards other things," said Michelle McMullen, MSUB lecturer. "This way, at least they've been exposed and they have that idea in their head and maybe some really good excitement and fun memories attached to it."

Attention runners: The next time you go out for a jog, you might want to strap a light resistance band between your feet. This rather quirky but oddly effective hack, according to UC Santa Barbara mechanical engineer Elliot Hawkes, could make you a more efficient runner by approximately 6.4%.

Running is an extremely inefficient activity for the human body (which is why it's also a calorie-torching workout).

The other nine calories are spent keeping us from falling as we pound the pavement with our bodymass, as well as braking and accelerating the swinging leg. Hawkes noticed this inefficiency while biking at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco at a cycling track concentric with a running track.

That's because, for Table Talk Pies in Worcester, the process of coming out with a new, exciting flavor is part "The Matrix" and part "Willy Wonka."

"When I first started here, I'm making like, 600-pound bowls of chocolate, making 3,000 pounds of filling. That's all I could think of, Willy Wonka," Warren, the company's product control manager, says. "Then I'm looking around and I'm like, 'They look like Oompa Loompas.'"

A Fun New Paper Says Planet 9 Could Actually Be a Primordial Black Hole
At the edge of our Solar System, some unknown object is manipulating the paths of chunks of ice as they circle the Sun.
These objects' oval-shaped orbits all point in the same direction and tilt the same way, suggesting that an unseen force is herding them.
At first, scientists thought the culprit was a mysterious planet, which they dubbed Planet Nine (though some call it Planet X ).
But a new paper suggests the gravitational pull could come from a primordial black hole – a type of small black hole that scientists have theorised formed during the Big Bang .
Although the existence of primordial black holes has not been confirmed, some scientists think the Universe is teeming with them. If they exist, such black holes could make up the 80 percent of the Universe that scientists can't see.
Rainy day games to banish boredom | Popular Science
Kids aren't the only ones who get stir-crazy when the weather causes outdoor plans to be canceled. So what to do when you're home unexpectedly, you've already binge-watched your favorite shows, or you'd like to get away from screens for a few hours? Maybe it's because of the unfortunate homonym, but we think board games are an underrated solution. We chose these (extremely-not-boring) games because, in addition to having fun with family and friends, you'll actually learn something.
Searching our brains for random factoids gathered from history, science, geography, art and pop culture is fun. But if you're craving something more, you'll enjoy the additional thinking skills required to move around the game board in Wit's End: identifying the Odd-1-Out in a category, ordering sets in Sequence questions, or solving rhyming riddles with a Teaser. Compete as individuals or in teams with teens (16 and up) and adults.
