Southern Kentucky is getting a science festival! The plan is for it to be a yearly event! This is an event for the community and the local university to come together and celebrate science.

It’s kicking off with a talk highlighting the centennial of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity (April 30 at WKU):

Dr. Jeffrey Bennett’s Relativity Tour kicks off the 2015 SKy Sci Fest with a free of charge public presentation: “Black Holes Don’t Suck! – An Intuitive Introduction to Einstein’s Relativity Theories and Why They Matter”

May 2nd at Circus Square in Bowling Green from 9 to 5 will be a day of science fun! Featuring food, music, art, entertainment and chances to explore & discover the world through science. Attend stage performances and booths hosted by community organizations, individuals, businesses, and vendors.
