Tips to foster your child's interest in science with Emily Calandrelli

Send us Fan Mail

In today’s episode, we are joined by Emily Calandrelli from Emily’s Wonder Lab! Emily is an MIT engineer turned Emmy-nominated science TV host, producer, and Author. Like me, she was a first-generation university student, meaning she was the first in her family to get a degree. What I find most interesting is that Emily wasn’t particularly into science as a child - but being creative was really important. Join us to learn how you can help foster a love of science in your kids - hint: you don’t have to like science yourself!

We speak about the issues we face as science communicators and the importance of having compassion and empathy when sharing with the public.

Tune in to find out what the “What if/question wall” is and how you can use it in your home to nurture curiosity in your children.
