#147 When were the first pirates? w/ Iszi Lawrence. What was the first book written? What is water made out of ?

Welcome to Episode #146 of Everything Under the Sun!

This week, we’re tackling three brilliant questions! First, we’ll learn how solar panels make electricity, with expert insights from Yasmin Ali, an engineer and author of Power Up. Yasmin has been named one of the Top 50 Women in Engineering: Sustainability by the Women's Engineering Society, and she’s here to explain the amazing science behind solar energy.

Next, we’ll explore why people often smile back when we smile at them—it’s all about human connection! And finally, we’ll uncover the mystery of why the moon seems to follow us when we move.

Happy Listening Everyone!
