As part of a virtual festival that begins Wednesday, families can catch a ride on the International Space Station (sort of), watch hot lava form (kind of), and take a 360-degree tour of a futuristic research lab for plants (definitely) all to illustrate principles of science.
While a little imagination will be needed for Friday s expedition to space, presenters at the 1:30 p.m. virtual trip will discuss the station s National Lab and some of the amazing science that happens beyond Earth s atmosphere.
It s one of the many virtual events in the third annual COSI Science Festival, which runs through Saturday. All of the events found at cosiscifest.org focus on expanding the role of science in real life and are geared toward all ages, including adults.

Increasing Drought Tolerance
University of Nevada, Reno research addressing future population growth and food shortages
After several years of experimentation, scientists have engineered thale cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana, to behave like a succulent, improving water-use efficiency, salinity tolerance and reducing the effects of drought. The tissue succulence engineering method devised for this small flowering plant can be used in other plants to improve drought and salinity tolerance with the goal of moving this approach into food and bioenergy crops.
“Water-storing tissue is one of the most successful adaptations in plants that enables them to survive long periods of drought. This anatomical trait will become more important as global temperatures rise, increasing the magnitude and duration of drought events during the 21st century,” said University of Nevada, Reno Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Professor John Cushman, co-author of a new scientific paper on plant
