Science can be exciting, fascinating, and sometimes a little gross, but in the best way! In Jorge Cham's Volcanoes Are Hot!, earth science meets Diary of a Wimpy Kid as eight-year-old Oliver tries to pivot his reputation from being known as an "Epic Barf Kid" to a "funny science kid" by taking on the school science fair. Steven Weinberg's nonfiction book What is Color? explores the messy, stinky, dangerous, and brilliant histories of color, pigments, and artistic science across time and space. This panel will have you laughing and learning through a fascinating discussion of these two charmingly illustrated STEM books!
