Curious Kids: USU Interpreter and Scientist Team to Create Science-Learning Magic for Children
- USU researchers released a Spanish-language science podcast aimed at children, featuring hagfish and translating biology concepts for young listeners.
- The episode, Pez Bruja, is part of Camaleón: Animales para niños curiosas and is hosted by Gerwuin Riera with 20-minute formats.
- Pérez translated and interpreted Jones’s biology explanations to ensure the content is engaging and accessible for young children.
- The project underscores that hagfish serve ecological roles, described as oceanic garbage disposals in the episode.
- Jones and Pérez collaborated after being encouraged by USU's Office of Research and Cumbre Media.
- The initiative aims to make science accessible across languages and cultures, not limited to a single country.
- Camaleón is produced by Austin-based Cumbre Media and hosted by Gerwuin Riera, targeting 3- to 10-year-olds.
- The collaboration highlights cross-disciplinary teamwork between biology and translation studies at USU.
- The story emphasizes engaging storytelling as a tool for effective science communication with children.
