Science, reading & being outside make me happy :) I love running "Dr Dot's Science Club" (Primary after-school) & we have the BEST fun! I also make easy-to-use digital resources to help busy parents & kids do sciencey stuff at home. Science is for sharing!

My first TED-Ed video just passed 1 million views on YouTube! How/why did I make this video? Because @biologycarly.bsky.social did one & told me anybody is allowed to submit ideas, so I did it as a grad student. Give it a shot!

So true!! I loved doing Dr Dot's Science Club with my Nursery & Kindergarten group, their inventiveness blew me away! Once when we were making parachutes out of shot glasses, string & circles, a boy took all the stuff & *made a city out of it*, with a library, science lab, offices & everything!! 🌟
