Welcome back Smarties to our new series Experimenting with Megan Amram! Have you ever wondered what are the differences between acids and bases? How do you measure PH? Megan is answering the tough questions despite having partied a little too hard the night before... Plus, today Megan's guest is Cara Santa Maria, neuroscientist and science communicator.

In this episode of Invention Factory, we explore how scientists are harnessing the power of the mind to achieve what once seemed impossible. From microelectronic brain implants that allow us to control machines with our thoughts, to training the brain to push the body to new limits - we'll test the limits of human potential and see what we are truly capable of through science and technology.

In this episode of Invention Factory, we try to understand the logic of love. From mining the data of billions of online connections, to charting the brain's reaction to love - we search for enlightenment by exploring the patterns in the chaos of human emotion.

In this episode of Invention Factory, we see the ways in which technology is changing how we view our world. From laser scanning that maps the world in amazing 3D detail, a new 4D ultrasound that gives our health a whole new dimension, to the potential uses of holographic imaging-we'll never look at things the same way again.

In this episode of Invention Factory, we explore the future of flight. From Xcor, a company making private space travel a growing reality, to GE's 3D printing technology that is helping to create better, smarter, faster engines-billions more people will have access to fast, affordable global travel.

In this episode of Invention Factory, we explore the evolution of robotics. From robots that can be our friends, exoskeletal suits that can make us faster and stronger, and machines that learn like humans-welcome to the true age of robotics.

Science communicator and host Cara Santa Maria (Talk Nerdy podcast and a co-host of TechKnow on Al Jazeera America) talk science love and "female penises" in insects (what?) with Michele, Chloe & Christina on this week's K-B.

"Drinking diet beverages helps people lose weight. In fact, it does a better job than water. That's the conclusion of a groundbreaking study from University of Colorado researchers. CBS4 Health Specialist Kathy Walsh first reported about the study when it started nearly two years ago, and now it's got a surprising result.

Cara Santa Maria is a huge success. Find out how she made the leap from studying neuroscience to being a television host and well-known science communicator. What was Joe Rogan's role in getting her to start her own podcast (Talk Nerdy with Cara Santa Maria)?
