I almost failed physics in high school. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to hook up a circuit. (I still can’t — and honestly, I still have never faced a situation in which I wished I could.)
If only I’d had to make me see the light (get it?).
The new web-series comes to us via Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls (which, as the name may suggest is an Amy Poehler-led community for young women) and features Jewish lady comedian, Harvard grad and science whiz Megan Amram.
In the first episode, the creator of “Science…For Her” shows us how to make a potato battery clock (for instructions, click here) into a biological potato clock, and chats with Dr. Beverley McKeon, engineer and Aeronautics Professor at Cal Tech.
Check back Monday, August 10, for a new episode featuring Sara Wasserman, PhD. Grab your lab coat and lip gloss and repeat after Megan: Science is sexy.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover. All donations are being matched by the Forward Board - up to $100,000.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
