New Episodes Coming Soon

We apologize for a longer hiatus than planned. Covid-19 distance learning and general malaise made it hard to stay on track. It has given us some clarity about the direction we want to take.

We feel that it is important to take science misconceptions head on and there have been plenty of things regarding Covid-19 that need to be taken on but there are lots of places out there where you can find more timely information. Our goal is to help people better understand the underlying science. How it works and how it is being used now.

We also want to talk about science communication and how it could be better and more accessible. Science and scientific knowledge should be for everyone. Making it more clear and easier to understand for people who aren’t necessarily specialists should be the goal of every science communicator. This means properly vetting information and following up when conclusions change due to new understanding.

So coming up, we have episodes about scientific communication, the workings of the immune system, how vaccines are developed, and more.

Try This At Home: Cardboard Engineering

In our latest video, Leo talks about cardboard engineering. He has built things out of cardboard for many years and it helped to establish his interest in engineering. He has developed many tricks that help you build with cardboard. He shares his techniques in this video.

We hope that everyone who builds something will share a video or picture with us. You can comment with your projects here or share them on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram using #njfgprojects.
