And who am I to be creating these science activities?
Well, my name is María Jesús Molina Cimadevila—Txus to my friends.
I’ve spent 25 years working in science.
Eight years ago, I left the CSIC (Spain’s top research institution) to bring science into schools through a beautiful project called Danio Science for Kids.
This book brings together some of the best hands-on projects I’ve created during that time.
