Science can be fun, inclusive, and full of imagination—and Victoria Cerdeira is proving it. The scientist and author joins Shane Hewitt to talk about her new children’s book Monster Science, a colorful introduction to DNA, genetics, and creativity for young readers. Written in three languages to reflect her multicultural roots, the book blends storytelling and science to make complex ideas accessible. Vicky shares why role models matter in STEM, how curiosity fuels learning, and why every child—no matter their background—should see themselves as a scientist.
