The World Science Festival, which is in its second year, is in full swing through Sunday, offers lectures, discussions, and even a street fair on Sunday that make science more accessible to the public. !@#$% Traffic: From Insects to Interstates asks if "marching ants, schooling fish, and herding wildebeests can teach us something about the morning commute?" while cast members of Battlestar Galactica joining leading robotocists to discuss a time when "intelligent machines are commonplace and cybernetic technology enhances human capabilities" in Battlestar Galactica: Cyborgs on the Horizon. We spoke to World Science Festival co-founder, Brian Greene, who is also professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University (and author of The Elegant Universe), about the festivities.
