Happy New Year, everyone!  We at the Festival office have hit the ground running this year.  Events should be going up onto the website starting in a few days (hopefully!).  CSF 2012 is really shaping up to be a great 10 days - Science Circus, CSF Star Party, Science of Baseball, of course our brain marathon Big Ideas for Busy People, and so much more!
