Boxing has long been known as “the sweet science,” but the term could just as easily apply to the first installment of a new series presented by COSI and Discover Columbus.
The “Science Tour 614” YouTube series explores how science is all around us, often in the most unexpected places, including Jeni’s splendid ice creamswhich is presented in the first.
Hosts Lauren Sudimack, head of educational engagement at COSI, and Sarah Townes, director of marketing and innovation at Experience Columbus, take viewers to Jeni’s house to see how the creamy treat is created — a more involved process than we don’t think so.
The couple learns how Jeni’s team, which includes a food scientist, formulates each unique flavor combination and terms like “retronasal.” are tossed around. (No spoilers! You’ll have to watch to find out the meaning.)
The collaboration between COSI and Experience Columbus aims to uncover science stories in the city. In upcoming episodes, viewers will visit historic landmarks like the Ohio Statehouse, as well as the recently unveiled building. Archie Griffin Statue at Ohio Stadium and Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum.
