All things Oregon!

Join Marnie Chesterton and science journalists Chhavi Sachdev and Jes Burns, on their science mission to Oregon , USA.

Join Marnie Chesterton and her panel of science journalists Chhavi Sachdev and Jes Burns, on their Oregon science mission. We investigate building materials of the future, from creative cement alternatives to buildings made of wood, and hear from forest scientist Sarah Jovan about how one humble plant has made huge changes to Portland's air quality.

Plus, we make waves with a new wave energy testing facility, uncover the benefits (or costs) of bamboo alternatives and our panellist fight against the clock to pitch what they think should take the crown of Oregon's Coolest Science. And, we hear from our studio audience about how they experience the world and one of them even volunteers to do the fact file.

Recorded at Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) studios in Portland Oregon.

Presenter: Marnie Chesterton
Producer: Julia Ravey
