What is Science Answers?

Hi, I'm Steve 👋

Kids see a lot of fake "facts" online. I have a PhD in Biomedical Science, 14+ years of research experience, and I’m a girl dad. ❤️ I fact-check everything I send and explain it so kids can understand.

My goal: give your family something fun (and true!) to talk about as we all keep learning together!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love how it gives me and my children conversation topics!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Going through [Science Answers] with my granddaughter (she loves science) gives us something fun to do together!

Grandparent

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Science Answers helps me learn new things, and relating it to my content helps me connect real life information to my students!
