Scientists don’t come from Mars
I made this poster to teach kids that scientists are normal, regular people, and that everybody can become a scientist. Not just math geniuses!
Scientists make mistakes, often need help from others, don’t know everything, and don’t always have the best grades at school.
Teachers, parents, you can download and print this cartoon for home or classroom uses (no commercial use allowed). You can also print Olga’s explanation on the scientific method here and buy the Olga books here.

Olga 2 – We’re out of here!
This book is now available in bookstores! I hope you’ll like it. Here’s the Kirkus review:
“In her second science-based adventure, inquisitive Olga relies on research to help determine what ails her beloved pet, Meh.
After discovering a new species—the Olgamus ridiculus—in her last adventure (Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere, 2017), fact-loving and gently misanthropic Olga has decided to leave Earth with Meh, who she’s decided must come from another planet. The black-haired, pale-skinned girl gathers information about what they will need for their intergalactic journey by visiting her favorite punk-rock librarian, Ms. Swoop, amassing space facts from the internet, and learning about astronaut-appropriate fare. However, Olga soon notices that something is wrong with Meh when her companion’s usually gentle demeanor and appearance both change for the worse. Will Olga be able to find out what is wrong with her cherished Olgamus ridiculus so they can embark upon their cosmic journey? Question-loving Olga describes herself as “grouchy,” but this seems a bit unfair; Olga is a strong—and wholly likable—character who values research and fact (usually over human interaction) and is not afraid to speak her mind, whether she’s confronting the popular girls or a vainglorious veterinarian. With pleasing, pink-toned two-color illustrations in an appealing graphic-hybrid format with large, charming artwork, this should appeal to an audience who likes their protagonists to be bold, smart, and welcoming of a gross-out joke or two.
A well-wrought sophomore offering with a delightfully unconventional heroine.”
You can get the book in all bookstores!
