Give Yourself a Science Head Rush!

Head Rush is a series of short clips hosted by former Mythbuster Kari Byron. Ms. Byron makes science explosively fun for learners of all ages. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and learners will walk away from each video excited about science and armed with the knowledge of a scientific principle they may have been previously unaware of. While these videos can absolutely be enjoyed by anyone, I'd particularly recommend them to young girls. It's vital to get young women interested in and excited about science due to the severe gender imbalance in many scientific careers. In some fields, the ratio of women to men is as low as 1:9. If you're the parent or guardian of a little girl, we'd recommend introducing her to the joys of science at a young age.
