I’ve reported on tariffs and taxes for years… but I’ve never been asked: What are taxes? 😳 this was just one of the great questions I got from the wonderful podcast @ButWhyKids and the amazing host @JaneLindholm

I just learned about @ButWhyKids, an engaging #science podcast for children produced by @vermontpublic. Termeh is already a fan, and I encourage parents to start tuning in. To be honest, I am also listening (bilingualism episode now), and it's excellent!

Glad I got to meet the @smithsonianzoo pandas before they left. It was fun to see how they’re cared for and to see them up close. If your kids want to learn more about their lives in the US, we have a @butwhy_kids episode at butwhykids.org!

Are your kids asking questions about what’s happening in Israel and Palestine? We’re contemplating producing an episode explaining things in kid-friendly language. Let us know what would be helpful as you help kids navigate the news they’re hearing and seeing about the situation.

Spring ephemerals have a small but special window in VT. 🌸🌸🌸
We were honored to take a walk with @JaneLindholm and the @ButWhyKids Podcast crew at Camp Ingalls by our Butternut Hill Natural Area to explore everything “ephemeral.” We will share the segment when it goes live!
