Don't You Know The Children Are Our future?
Teach them well, and let them lead the way...
But, how to get them interested in things not related to Hannah Montana???
We spoke with kids' science fiction and science writer, Douglas Richards, about his books and how he thinks kids can be successfully introduced to a life-long love of science. We recommend his books for your middle-grader for fun, educational summer reading:
We also talked about the inner ape in us all that comes out through laughter, dirty little gamma rays, how medicine is making us bankrupt, how bats keep themselves from going batty, and finding humans underwater.
We also were soundly corrected by minions Aaron, Karen, and Ian on our interpretation of statistics related to the rate of lying among scientists. Thanks for keeping us honest, and using your critical thinking skills!
Music on the show was by Unbalanced Wheel, The Amygdaloids, and Jake Mann.
Listen to it all here.
