  • Are you a victim?

    If you are, npr will bend head over heels to share your story, never willing to examine the other side of such stories, narratives. It makes for easy reporting, news gathering, but leaves us all less informed at the end of the day

How technology is changing work in Minnesota
Q: What is Mintek and what does it do in Minnesota?
Mintek is a collaborative of many tech companies aimed at advocacy, community building, and talent development in Minnesota's tech sector.
Tapping into the science of maple syrup
Q: Is it true that birch syrup behaves differently from maple syrup, and should people expect to use it differently in cooking?
Birch syrup has a deeper color and a different, sometimes balsamic-molasses flavor profile; it also has a lower sugar content and requires more sap per gallon, so it's less pancake-friendly and more suited to dressings, marinades, or baking where its bold flavor can shine.
Tapping into the science of maple syrup
Q: How does climate change affect sap flow and sap quality over the season?
Drier conditions and erratic rainfall disrupt the predictable freeze-thaw cycles that drive sap flow, causing variability in sap quality and sugar content year to year, and potentially shifting the optimal tapping windows or even tree suitability.
Tapping into the science of maple syrup
Q: What have you found that people love about tapping trees and making maple syrup?
Many enjoy the hands-on, self-reliant aspect of harvesting and processing sap, the community activity of tapping with neighbors, and the sensory rewards of tasting fresh syrup with distinct flavors depending on tree species and weather.
