St. Louis Science Center’s YES program, Ainissa Ramirez, the jerboa, neurotechnology.

Extracting oil from avocados is not a typical Saturday for most teenagers, but the kids in the St. Louis Science Center’s YES program are not typical. Science evangelist Ainissa Ramirez explains why snowflakes have six sides. Scientists are studying the jerboa, a rodent that looks like a tiny T-Rex. Advanced neurotechnology enables a paraplegic to press a button and stand on her own two feet.
