DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!
Children
Small statured humans, young in age and high in energy.
They like sugar, playing with things, being curious about everything…
And, they have visions of the future!
Sometimes these visions are very different than the futures they actually encounter upon growing up…
The world it seems only needs so many cowboy-princess-astro-pirates
What the world does need of course is science…
And lots of it.
Science is a field for the curious
Science is all about playing with things.
And, science runs on visions of the future like a hopped up 7 year old with a fist full of pixie stix.
If there is one thing you can inspire the next generation with that they can relate to the most
It is science.
Because, at its core,
it is a childlike curiosity,
an active imagination…
And above all else,
a drive to prove that those who came before
didn’t really know everything after all.
And, nowhere else is that more a parent than
This Week in Science,
Coming Up Next…
