Show, don’t tell.
When kids ask about your research, show, don’t tell. We, the ambassadors of science, shouldn’t be boring our nieces and nephews at family dinners with parameter distributions, we should make them excited about science. Getting people excited: show, don’t tell.
In 5 minutes, I will perform 5 experiments that anyone can do using everyday household items to get kids interested in science. Bring safety glasses.
