TI staff biologist Karen Kalumuck tells us how she tries not to answer every question in the classroom -– instead, she guides her students to discover ideas for themselves.

I'm a science communicator and educator currently employed at the University of Colorado at Boulder as a Science Teaching Fellow. Previously I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Teacher Institute of the Exploratorium. I have been a science journalist off and on for the past 7 years, including a summer spent on the science desk at National Public Radio. That's where I got my love of radio, and this podcast is an extension of that. The Teacher Institute has a great wealth of expertise, and I hope to bring it to some teachers who are not able to come to the Exploratorium programs.
