    ✨Updated✨ Do you know about robots? 🤖 (Sheryl lost her voice encore)
    Jun 18 2025
    Halfway through recording our latest episode, Sheryl's voice started to sound like a frog, and then like something else we couldn't identify. Sheryl caught a virus that is causing her to cough and affecting her voice. She should be back to normal next week, and with a new episode. Otherwise, you might have to listen to me (Clark) talking to you about science. 😳 Did you know? In this episode of Sleep Tight Science, we are going to start to learn all about Robots and try to answer some of the questions that you have submitted about these machines. Do you think robots are cool or scary? And, what kind of robots would you like to have in your house? Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️👂📖 --- ✨ Want more stories and fewer interruptions?

  • Listener Questions: Ouch! Barf! Bumps! and the Moon 🌕🚌🤢⚡

    Listener Questions: Ouch! Barf! Bumps! and the Moon 🌕🚌🤢⚡
    Jun 11 2025
    In this episode, we will learn all kinds of fascinating science from the questions you sent in! Questions like why we feel pain, and how it's our body's way of protecting us by sending warning signals to the brain. Why we vomit, and the amazing teamwork between your brain and belly that helps protect you from things that might make you sick. Then we learn why buses are so bumpy, especially in the back. Next, we will travel back in time to learn about the ancient Greeks' contributions to science, from inventing early machines to posing profound questions about the stars. And finally, we discover why we sometimes see the Moon during the day and how our Moon was formed long, long ago—from a dramatic crash in Earth's early days!Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark❤️👂📖 --- ✨ Want more stories and fewer interruptions?
