About this show
Join the Science Storyteller on a musical journey into the surprising science behind... A A Milne's novels! In his 1928 classic, a certain sad donkey is talking about earthquakes, but why!? Award-winning science communicator and researcher Dr Iris van Zelst answers this question by exploring the basics of seismology through stories, compelling visuals and songs. Based on research from the University of Edinburgh, the show will introduce young people to science through curiosity-driven learning around beloved stories. Fascinating family fun!
