Hello #ScienceMastodon! I think that #ChildrensBooks give us an opportunity to take science to new audiences (children, parents and teachers). Me and superstar #illustrator Melissa Castrillón created ‘Nano: the Spectacular Science of the Very (Very) Small’, which introduces young people to #Nanoscience. #ChemToots
I wrote about writing #ChildrensBooks on #Nanoscience – and why scientists should take their research out of the lab (and away from the #Paywall ) if we want to truly contribute to a more scientifically literate society: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02150-8 #ScienceMastodon
Why I wrote a children’s book about nanoscience

Inspiring the next generation can help to tackle nano-phobia.
