Science Stories: I Didn't Know That!

By Laura Ellis
Published March 17, 2011 at 11:59 AM EDT

STATE OF AFFAIRS 03/17/11: Everyone knows that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone… except they didn't. On Thursday we’ll listen back to our conversation with science author Rick Beyer about his book, “The Greatest Science Stories Never Told.” We’ll learn how a teenager invented television in a potato field, and how a cluttered lab lead one scientist to a Nobel Prize.
