Welcome to Science with Amy!
This blog is created as a learning space for everyone regardless of your background. We live in strange times. Knowledge is power and knowledge shared is power multiplied. I hope everyone can join me in exploring the wonders of science and promote science education.
Live to learn and you will really learn to live
