Hey from New Jersey! I’ve never really liked learning about science or being in science class, but this helped me to look at science from a different point of view and not just see it as a bunch of paragraphs and plot charts.
I love seeing the new things I learn about science in the real world.
running late but I made it!
Question for you: For a while now, we’ve been on the topic of radio. At some point, you’d brought up a “Radio class”, and I wanted to see if that might be an actual thing. I would certainly love if it was.
