Wonder what a meal worm tastes like?

Nearly 4,000 Cleveland-area children are about to find out as they embark on JASON XV: Rainforests at the Crossroads science adventure between January 26 and February 6 at Ford Auditorium at Case Western Reserve University.

Children and their teachers will participate in numerous rainforest-related activities—including sampling meal worms—in the 30 minutes prior to each live interactive telepresence broadcast at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. daily, except Sunday. No broadcasts will air February 1.

During the live televised science action, scientists and JASON students and teachers on location in the rainforests of the Isthmus of Panama will demonstrate how the tropical rainforest impacts the Earth's biosystems and how technology has influenced the geography, hydrology and biology of Panama.

The public is invited to attend the 4 p.m. broadcasts and any of the January 31 programs by calling 216-368-5075.
