Brains On Coronavirus Research!

Earlier this year, Brains On teamed up with the Science Museum of Minnesota, with funding from the National Science Foundation, to launch a study on how shows like ours can provide families with science-based information to help ease children’s worries during a pandemic.

Resources for Educators

Brains On is an award-winning science podcast for kids from American Public Media. Each week, joined by a different kid co-host, we ask fascinating questions about science and go wherever the answers take us. Sometimes this means hearing skits about sound waves, songs about slime or interviews with astronauts.
