*Yes there are other perfect square days, but today's is sequential and therefore better than the others.

Sometimes the #sciencekid wears a #mathkid hat instead....or in this case, a shirt.

He's very concerned that not enough people know how cool today's date is.* If you're American. And have a very fluid definition of cool.

Happy #math -ing everyone!

A blonde, seven year old boy is grinning broadly and pointing to his shirt. It is blue with a white and green design highlighting the date. September 16, 2025, or 9/16/25, which is 3 squared, 4 squared, 5 squared.

Last month the Science Kid attended a sneak preview of the new #Paleontology Center at #theNAT, San Diego's Natural History Museum. It's going to be a fantastic facility and everyone should check it out once it opens!

Hard to #standupforscience when you're a six. But if a second-grader gets it, seems like the rest of the country can.

Sometimes one's dignity must suffer for the sake of entertaining science communication.

The Science Kid's new video about #staticelectricity was a bit of a...shocking experience.

A young boy in a lab coat and safety glasses looks at the camera, expressionless, while his hair stands on end from static electricity.

Always a good science day when you can shake something uncontrollably. Nearly as good as making things explode. #science

A blond child wearing lab coat and safety glasses is shaking a jar wildly. Rocks and sand are swirling in the jar. The boy has a giant grin on his face.

#Sciencing is serious business.

A young child wearing eye protection, a lab coat and a shirt describing the scientific method stands in front of a poster of the periodic table and next to a shelf with a variety of science and math-themed paraphernalia. He has a serious expression on his face.

I'm a kid who loves #science and hosts a science channel answering kids' questions so they can appreciate it too. Tons of channels hosted by adults do this already but kids like watching other kids. I'm still learning how to present, but working hard to improve. Maybe you want to follow along?
