St. Louis festival brings out science’s cool side

From medicine cabinets to the fermented beer in the fridge, Americans are surrounded by science all the time. The St. Louis Science Center is launching a festival this week to help people better understand, and enjoy, the ways that science plays a role in everyday lives.

St. Louis was chosen from about 20 American cities to host SciFest, which is based on a popular English gathering called the Cheltenham Science Festival.

'There's this potpourri for the intellectually stimulated,' said Doug King, president and chief executive of the St. Louis Science Center.
