MSU Science Festival scheduled for April 1-30

They say seeing is believing. What about the things that you can’t see with the naked eye? Atoms, germs, calories, intergalactic dust. The MSU Science Festival from April 1-30 wants to help you explore, learn and ask questions about those unseen mysteries of the universe.
