Hey Dan, big fan! Used to watch Daily Planet since I was a kid and it is one of the main reasons I am now attending university for engineering.

My question is: What's your view of STEM education in Canada and around the world. How can we convince more kids to get interested in Science and Math?

Thanks for the reply Dan, keep up the good work! I know I am not the only one who has been impacted by the show - Daily Planet's impact on youth is profound. I would always watch it when I would come home from school at 4PM (Pacific). It would spark my imagination with what Science could do. I would tell my friends and anyone who would listen about all the latest and greatest from the world of science. This was important as at that time in school, science was not too cool. My teachers weren't very passionate about the topic and much of the stuff we learned was very trivial and basic. Daily Planet is what kept me motivated to stay in STEM.

Now I'm off at University, working in research and am set up well to pursue a career in aerospace. I credit a lot of that to my after-school viewing of Daily Planet. And who knows, maybe one day my work will be featured on the show and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.
