🥑 Paleo, keto, intermittent fasting… what does evolution actually tell us about eating well? C2ST Science Correspondent Dr. Lindsey Ramirez introduces Dr. Daniel Lieberman, Harvard evolutionary biologist and author of Fed Up: What Evolution Reveals about Food, Diet, Health, and Eating Well. Join C2ST for an engaging conversation about human evolution, nutrition, modern diets, and the science behind what we eat. 📅 November 14, 2026 | 2–3 PM 📍 Field Museum, Chicago 💻 In-person and livestream options 📚 Book signing following the lecture 🎟️ Register today: https://www.c2st.org/event/fed-up-what-evolution-reveals-about-food-diet-health-and-eating-well/ 💬 What nutrition question would you ask an evolutionary biologist? #DanielLieberman #NutritionScience #EvolutionaryBiology #HealthyEating #ScienceShorts #C2ST #Shorts
What does it take to bring wildlife back to Chicago's rivers? Discover how scientists, conservationists, and community organizations are working to restore Chicago's urban waterways! Join the Chicago Council on Science and Technology (C2ST) and Shedd Aquarium as we explore the science behind urban river restoration, wildlife conservation, and the innovative efforts helping nature thrive in the heart of Chicago. Featuring experts from Shedd Aquarium and Urban Rivers, this video takes you behind the scenes of efforts to restore river habitats, support biodiversity, and reconnect Chicago communities with their waterways. IN THIS VIDEO: • How scientists are restoring Chicago's urban rivers • The wildlife living beneath the surface • Why healthy freshwater ecosystems matter • How community partnerships support conservation • The science behind restoring natural habitats in cities This video was developed in partnership with Shedd Aquarium, a leader in aquatic conservation, scientific research, and environmental education.

Drone technology is advancing quickly in the U.S., but its future raises important questions. Unmanned systems can support delivery, emergency response, public safety, and innovation. They can also be connected to war and conflict. How should society decide where and how drone technology is used? Share your thoughts in the comments. #DroneTechnology #Drones #UnmannedSystems
Unmanned deliveries are becoming more real, from delivery robots to drones and autonomous vehicles. But will this technology help the economy or hurt it? C2ST explores the science and technology behind unmanned deliveries and the big questions they raise about work, business, safety, and the future of our communities. What do you think? Will unmanned deliveries make life better, or create new problems? Tell us in the comments. #UnmannedDelivery #DeliveryRobots #Automation #FutureOfWork #ScienceShorts #C2ST #Shorts
Where in Chicago is C2ST? We visited a local nature museum for its annual Nature Fest — a celebration of wildlife, conservation, hands-on science, and community learning. Can you guess the location?

The haziness in Chicago this summer was impossible to ignore! In times like these, it helps to use the air quality index (AQI) in your weather app. This handy tool shows you what pollutants are in the air and in what quantities. Though it's obvious when it's really bad, not all pollutants are easy to see or smell so the AQI can help you decide if you should be outdoors or if you should find something fun to do inside. On those hazy days, visit us on YouTube for fun videos about dinosaurs, cicadas, drones, and more!  Read the full blog to learn more: https://www.c2st.org/science-of-everything-air-quality-index/
What is this science object? This is a Chinese Spouting Bowl, a classic science demonstration that uses vibration, waves, and resonance to make water spout upward. This short kicks off a new C2ST series highlighting cool science objects and demos from our collection. What science demo should we feature next? #ScienceShorts #Physics
Should we trust healthcare to AI? In this C2ST short, experts discuss the promise and risk of AI in medicine — especially when tools are used to support decisions about real patients. AI may help analyze data and assist healthcare professionals, but trust, testing, accountability, and human oversight matter. Would you trust AI with your healthcare? #ArtificialIntelligence #HealthcareAI #MedicalEthics #HealthTech #ScienceShorts #C2ST #Shorts
In this C2ST short, experts discuss the promise and risk of AI in healthcare — including how new tools are tested, how they affect patients, and why trust, safety, and accountability matter. AI may help transform medicine, but the science and ethics behind it deserve careful public conversation.
