About Science Answers

Curious kids ask big questions.
We help you answer them!

Science Answers is a free weekly newsletter for families and classrooms who love science and animals. Every Wednesday morning you'll get a quick, fun issue packed with things worth talking about: at the dinner table, on the drive to school, or at the start of class.

What you get each week

Animal Focus: one fascinating animal, with facts that make you say "wait, really?"

Brain Teaser: a puzzle to solve together

Ever Wonder: a clear answer to one of those everyday questions kids love to ask

Hi, I'm Steve!

I'm a scientist and dad. I have a PhD in biomedical sciences and have spent nearly 15 years doing research in genome engineering. But some of my favorite science conversations happen at home with my 3-year-old, who loves animals and never runs out of questions!

I started Science Answers in 2025 because those conversations matter. When a kid asks "why?", it's an opportunity to spark curiosity that can last a lifetime. I want to make it easy for parents and teachers to say, "Great question, let’s find out!"

Since we started a year ago, we’ve reached 7,500+ followers across social media, 10,000+ newsletter subscribers, and 50,000+ web visits! Thanks for your support, and stay curious!

Who it's for

Parents looking for fun, meaningful things to talk about with their kids

Teachers who want ready-to-share science and animal content for their classes

Curious kids (and grown-ups) who never stop asking questions

It's free, it arrives every Wednesday, and it takes less than five minutes to read!
