Well welcome in. Glad that everyone could join us for a show that I have been very excited to put together. Today we are going to talk about Science. I love Science and I personally love discovery. And I love challenging myself and others to try new things that could lead to a discovery. Maybe you find out you’re good at something like soccer or juggling. Maybe it’s a kind of food your find out you like. Or discovering a new trail you love to hike. Maybe it’s the discovery of a new species of animal or plant that was previously thought to be something else. Now that’s Science. I mean by definition Science is the study of the physical and natural world through observation and experimentation. But Discovery is right there in the mix of science. You observe and experiment to discover, right. But what about when that discovery turns out to be something you never expected. Something new. A surprise.    That’s today’s episode. Surprised by Science. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You may not know it but Gainesville has it’s very own rock monolith. On a piece of Veteran’s Memorial Park, toward the back of the property nestled under low drooping oak limbs, Gainesville’s monolithic rock sculpture is perched atop a 10-foot-hill overlooking Chapman’s Pond. I happened upon these thirteen stones that are placed in a circle one afternoon while on a walk with my son. We were on a Pokemon hunt but found a mystery instead. These rocks have swirls, suns, moons, animals and even an eye carved into the limestone rock. Looking around you don’t see much indication what this circle is. Come Join me, Brad McClenny, with The Gainesville Sun, and learn the classified history of Chapman's Pond and The Gainesville Monolith. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
