Calling all future scientists!
Our world is changing quickly, and our shared challenges can seem overwhelming. We need scientists to tackle climate change, harness the power of artificial intelligence, produce vaccines and so much more. But what does a scientist do all day? How do they decide which of our shared problems to address? How does an idea come to be “scientifically proven”?
Biologist Kate MacDonald provides the inside scoop on the scientific method, where it came from and why its results are trustworthy and not just an interesting observation. Young readers will learn about the human side of research and the creativity and collaboration at the heart of every scientific endeavor. Trust in science—our future depends on it.
