The WSU-run children’s science podcast, “Dr. Universe,” partners with Regional Theater of the Palouse to answer science-based questions and draw attention to STEM careers.
“It’s kind of a great community partnership,” said Rachel Webber, science writer and communications coordinator of WSU’s University Marketing and Communications.
To support the program’s growth, theater performers will be assisting in the production of the podcast. Webber said she is excited for the podcast’s future.
Dr. Universe is a curious cat who is involved with answering some of the most asked questions involving life, technology and math, according to the podcast’s website. However, Dr. Universe has not always been around.
