Skype A Scientist

How one UConn graduate student connected thousands of scientists and school kids.

Folks, I'm doing a Skype a Scientist session with a classroom of second graders tomorrow morning, and i am hyped.

Preview of their excellent questions:

What does whale poop look like?

A: I HAVE VIDEO TO SHOW THEM b/c everybody poops! 💩

Do pink river dolphins exist?

A: I am very excited to tell this kid yes! They do! 🐬

What causes Shark attacks?

A: I'm psyched to talk about how crucial sharks are to our ocean ecosystems and how bad their eyesight is. Don't look like a dead seal in murky water, and you'll be fine 🦈

Anyways. Skype a Scientist is a very neat FREE program and if you know any teachers or students or interested families, you should take advantage of it!

Great wide-ranging conversation with @sarahmackattack, Founder of @skypeascientist, hosted by @aauwnational: the wonder of squid; why members of the public don't trust scientists; balancing finishing PhD & founding #SkypeAScientist; reaching underrepresented groups in STEM. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAWDJggH2jW/?igshid=c10qhenstai4
