“Catch the Science Bug” Series on PBS Rhode Island Receives Silver!

The “Catch the Science Bug” series on PBS Rhode Island has won a Parents’ Choice Silver Award! 

The idea to create a series was presented to me in 1999.  I was taking a class at Emerson College taught by Rex Trailer  former host of Boomtown. One day after class, Rex suggested that I host my own children’s television show on science.  This was like telling an aspiring high school hockey player that he could be the next Tim Thomas. I had no idea how this would all come together but had to try. Slowly but surely the pieces fell into place.   I couldn’t be more thankful that I caught the Science Bug and went along for the ride.  There have been over a thousand people who helped make Catch the Science Bug what it is today.  Sending all of you a BIG THANK YOU!  

Our next step is to reach even more children by making these episodes available on DVD.  We will keep you posted on our progress via blog entries.
