Each week, a scientist answers exciting questions about health and science, helping children explore the world around them.

With live sessions & replays available, children can engage, ask questions, and discover the power of science.
Tomorrow is Random Acts of Kindness Day 💛
Kindness isn’t just about small gestures. In science and research, it’s at the heart of collaboration. Sharing ideas, listening to others, supporting teammates, and learning together all help discoveries move forward.

Thank you so much to the brilliant Merve Zeden for such a fantastic Meet the Scientist webinar, Antibiotics vs Microbes: Who Wins the Battle? 🦠
Children explored what microbes are, how antibiotics work and why they don’t fight viruses.
So many thoughtful questions and great engagement from classes.

The brilliant Merve Zeden is back with Meet the Scientist this Wednesday to clear it all up.

Free, online, and designed to spark curiosity. 🦠💊
