How to Encourage Little Scientists? Get Out of the Way!

POSTED ON 05/02/11
In This Episode

Expert advice from astrophysicist and all-around smartypants,  Neil deGrasse Tyson: If you want your kid to love science (and grow up just like Neil?!), let them be kids, he says. Playing in puddles, taking things apart, and asking endless questions today can cultivate the best scientific minds of tomorrow.

Angela Santomero and Neil deGrasse Tyson
