If you have been listening to this podcast for any length of time, you know I don’t think that is true! Even so, today in this episode we are going to chat about three common science-fears and why those puppies shouldn’t scare you at all! **The Highlights** In all my travels, I have run across three main reasons why people are afraid of teaching science at home over and over again.
