We've made the difficult decision to cancel the Dahlonega Science Festival for 2022. Health and safety are our top priority, and the uncertainty of Covid over the last few months has severely impacted our ability to plan the festival we hoped this year. #DahSciFest

When water is carbonated to make seltzer or soda, carbon dioxide is dissolved in the water, creating some #CarbonicAcid. Not only does the water #fizz during a drop in pressure like opening the can/bottle, but the flavor of the water is also more acidic. #DahSciFest
