Liz Heinecke tells the story of Rachel Carson

Liz Lee Heinecke has loved science since she was old enough to inspect her first butterfly. Her desire to spread her enthusiasm for science to others soon led to a regular segment on her local NBC affiliate, an opportunity to serve as an Earth Ambassador for NASA, and the creation of an iPhone app, with the goal of making it simple for parents to do science with kids of all ages, and for kids to experiment safely on their own. Her new book, STEAM Lab for Kids is an art-forward doorway to science, math, technology and engineering. In the video below she shares a bit about one of her favorite marine biologists and authors, Rachel Carson.
