LA CROSSE TALK PM: Talking science — fusion, Wisconsin snow — with Mrs. Photon, UW-L’s Spencer Wilken

UW-La Crosse outreach coordinator, Spencer Wilken, nicknamed Mrs. Photon, in the studio WIZM studio Wednesday to talk science on La Crosse Talk PM.

The big news for, not just the week, but the century, maybe ever, is scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, have fused the atom — they did a fusion.

We try to dissect what is a very complicated topic.

Before that, we got some space updates, but then discussed the diminishing snowfall in Wisconsin over the past decades, as well as some snow facts from the state.

Ended the show, quick, talking about real Christmas tree vs. fake tree.
