This week on Science on the Radio we visit Green Lakes State Park located in the Town of Manlius. As most CNY natives will attest, the park is strikingly scenic, and has an impressive golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones. The park is also home to perhaps the most studied meromictic lake—one in which layers of water do not mix—in the world. You'll hear more about this wonderful state park, this week on Science on the Radio with Dr Marvin Druger.

These days you can get a brand new computer shipped directly to your house in a just a matter of days. The very first computer on the other hand, took 3 years to be built. This week on Science on the Radio, Dr. Marvin Druger discusses the first electronic computer otherwise known as ENIAC. You can hear Science on the Radio Wednesday nights at 8:35 on WAER.

This week on Science on the Radio Dr. Marvin Druger is talking Thermodynamics and specifically Entropy. Entropy is a measure of the degree of disorder in any isolated system, high Entropy means greater disorder. Hear Science on the Radio with Dr. Marvin Druger Wednesday evenings at 8:35 on WAER.

Lobsters comprise a family of large marine crustaceans. Lobsters have long bodies with muscular tails, and live in crevices or burrows on the sea floor. Three of their five pairs of legs have claws, including the first pair, which are usually much larger than the others. Highly prized as seafood, lobsters are economically important, and are often one of the most profitable commodities in coastal areas they populate Find out even more about our little friend the Lobster this week with Dr. Marvin

2015 was a big year for Gravitational Waves as they were detected, confirming Albert Einsteins prediction that they existed back in 1916. If you've ever seen a ripple on a wave of water then you've witnessed Gravitational Waves. What causes these waves? That's the topic of Science on the Radio this week, as Dr. Marvin Drugers take us on another exploration of knowledge. Also this week you'll hear how the waves were detected and what that means for future scientific studies. You can hear Science
