First Fridays Science Discussion | Natural History Museum Of Los Angeles

Sandra Tsing Loh is a professional science communicator and educator with many proud accomplishments, but all bets are off when sitting down with her 12 year old daughter Suzy. Lofty TED Talk theories and triumphal chants of "Hands-on STEM!" fly out the window when a parent tries to help her middle schooler with her actual science homework. Loh candidly addresses the cultural, societal and family influences on how science is taught, and to whom, arriving at surprising insights into how we might (re-)tell the stories of science to all audiences K-100, now and into the future.
