Entomologist Ronda Hamm Shows Us Creepy Crawlers Aren't Always So Scary

Part of entomologist and AAAS IF/THEN Ambassador Ronda Hamm's mission is taking the sting out of the "terrifying" reputations of bugs, spiders and scorpions.

Gazing at the Moon with Planetary Scientist Sarah Stewart

Pop culture often regards the moon with great mystery and intrigue. To understand where this idea comes from, look no further than the creation of the moon itself. Sarah Stewart's research on the natural satellite's origins digs a little deeper into the enigma by proposing a new formation process. One that "smashes" home some very important points.
