The best part of presenting weather and science to kids (like I did today at Chattanooga School For The Arts & Sciences) is the questions. Like Carl Sagan found, they ask the most interesting questions. Much less of that curiousity in higher grade levels. Always great to see that interest in and desire to know more about the world they live in. #ScienceRules

“There is a #cultofignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of #antiintellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov
