Why are so many kids (and adults) like you bored by science?
Simple: you've had no real contact with it. You might read about
incredibly expensive scientific projects, but your hands-on
experience is probably limited to the same tired experiments - like
baking soda and vinegar "volcanoes." Not any longer. Make
Magazine's "Punk Science" issue (volume 31) shows you how you can
become a real, cutting-edge amateur scientist. Find out how high
school and college students can get an introduction to modern
biology research through affordable biotech labs provided by Otyp,
a small Michigan-based biotechnology company. And learn how a
cooperative network of schools and research groups, called PEER,
enables students to learn science by working on real projects with
people in the field - including the DECA (Distributed Electronic
Cosmic-Ray) Observatory that uses Android phones to generate a
real-time cosmic-ray flux map of a large area. This issue also
shows you how to create these fascinating projects on your own:
RoboRoach - Surgically modify a cockroach with a wireless
electronic circuit so that you can control it to turn left or right
by micro-stimulating its antenna nerves. Lord Kelvin's Thunderstorm
- a little-known, classic science experiment that generates
high-voltage "lightning" sparks by dripping water through metal
rings. An automatic Ball/Toy Launcher for Dogs that will keep your
pet entertained and exercised while you're away. A True Mirror,
which shows what you look like to other people. Pick up a copy of
