| Hey science fans, October is here and Live Science has a great month ahead full of creepy science. If you're new to our newsletter, I'm managing editor Jeanna Bryner, who's had a lifelong curiosity about the world, how it works and why we humans are so "human." What I've learned is that you don't have to be a scientist to love science! October is no different. Here's what you can expect as the ghouls and goblins prepare for All Hallow's Eve. Check out all our Halloween science goodies, from the history of Halloween and the bizarre mythical monsters associated with it, to the many superstitions of the haunted day and spooky spirit traditions from around the world. And if ghost stories and haunted houses intrigue you, don't miss these science-laden treats: Live Science will have plenty of spooky science stories to satiate your morbid curiosities throughout the month. |
