If you happen to be in NYC for the holidays… check out our NYC Science Facts on LinkNYC

If you’re a New Yorker, or have visited the Big Apple recently, you’ve probably noticed that NYC is replacing its pay phones with interactive kiosks called “Links.” Each Link provides superfast, free public Wi-Fi, phone calls, device charging and a tablet for access to city services, maps and directions. I don’t know about you, but for me, those device chargers alone have been a lifesaver more than once. (Although they’ve made it much harder to use the excuse of, “Sorry I missed your call. My battery died.”)

They also showcase a series of NYCFacts with information of interest about the city. As of this week, they’ve begun showing NYCFacts about science, curated by StarTalk and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Here are two examples from our first batch of facts:

Look for the next batch of StarTalk Science Facts on LinkNYC early in 2018. (Click here to find out more about LinkNYC, including kiosk locations.)

That’s it for now. Keep Looking Up!
