Tuesday on Lake Effect: Epigenetics, Viruses & Proteins, The Simpsons & Politics, Norwegian Mystery

Tuesday on Lake Effect:

We learn about the field of epigenetics, which tells us our actions can have long term genetic consequences to future generations. Then, a team of physicists from UWM receive a National Science Foundation grant to study viruses and proteins at the molecular level. Later, why young political scientists ought to watch The Simpsons, and we learn why writer Kathleen Ernst decided a Norwegian lefse pin would make a perfect murder weapon.
