Astronomycast Episode 378, Brother Ferns Adams.

Welcome to Astronomycast, our weekly facts based journey through the cosmos. We'll help you understand only what we know but how we know what we know.

My name is Fraser Kane, I'm the publisher of university and with me is Dr. Pam LaGay, a professor at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, and director of Cosmquest. Hey, Pamela, how are you doing?

I'm doing well, how are you doing Fraser?

Good, so we think that people should do some science this summer.

Yes, we do. Over at Cosmquest, we are doing a summer of science to get people using their brains as well as going out and enjoying the sunshine.

So we're going to have a series of challenges for you starting June 4th and we're going to have a variety of prizes for participants. So go get involved.

That sounds awesome. I'll get the kids to do it too. Sounds great.

So once again, we are pleased to welcome Casper mattresses as a sponsor of Astronomycast and Pamela, are you still enjoying your Casper mattress?

I am. It continues to be my happy day bed Sunday napping mattress.

Well, I've got a sort of interesting story which is that a Casper sent us a demo mattress but I had to leave it in the United States and so I came back to Canada and I realized that my mattress has been around for way to like 12 years.

And so apparently it's supposed to change them every 10 years anyway. So I was trying to get room mattress and I loved the demo mattress so much that I actually bought myself another one.

So this is a legit thing. We actually really do love these Casper mattresses. So for those of you don't know Casper mattresses you order one online.

They're like 500 for a twin 950 for king, which is really good price and they send it in a box and it's like some kind of magical black hole technology that when you unwrap the whole thing it sort of expands and it's Mary Poppins box.

Right exactly. It's great. I've even seen unboxing videos for Casper mattresses on the internet. Go check that out.

And it's because they're made of foam but they're sort of the special mix of latex foam and memory foam.

And the crazy thing is like you can order and if you don't like it you can just send it back. You've got a return policy delivery prices free.

They're made in the US which you know but they do sell them here in Canada which is just terrific.

And unlike time-perpetic mattresses which is what our other mattresses you don't get hot in the summers when I'm finding we did the procrastinate on the AC thing and the difference became clear.

Yeah absolutely. So and Casper is giving you do listeners a deal so if you go to Casper.com slash Astro you will get $50 off your purchase.
