Science Friday’s Ira Flatow, eel electric shock, virtual reality, weather records.

Science Friday’s Ira Flatow says young people are embracing science, but it’s a different story when it comes to politics. How powerful is an eel’s electric shock? A researcher tries to find out. Surgeons and soldiers use virtual reality for training. Sailors trapped in Alaska more than a hundred years ago had no idea how important their daily weather records would be to today’s climatologists.
