Biotech at the Breakfast Table: Real Science for Real Families.
Each week, I’ll guide you and your kids through a hands-on experiment at your kitchen table. Subscribe to get your child’s weekly Lab Sheet delievered straight to your inbox.
Most science curricula for kids stop at “the plant cell has a wall.” But we live in the age of CRISPR, mRNA vaccines, and personalized medicine. Our kids want to understand the real code of life.
I created Lab Coat and Legos to bridge the gap between high-level biotechnology and the kitchen table. My goal is to turn “scary” or “complex” science into something your child can build, touch, and master—starting with the toys they already love.
What You’ll Get Every Week
When you join our “Lab Partnership,” you aren’t just subscribing to another podcast. You’re getting a geneticist-led curriculum delivered to your inbox:
The Parent’s Podcast: 20-minute deep dives into biotech topics, explained through Lego analogies.
The Kid’s Podcast: 7-10 minute guided activity, explained in a way kids can understand.
The Lab Sheet: Printable sheets to accompany the weekly Kid’s episode, used to record their results and prompt thinking.
Join the Lab
Whether you’re a homeschooling veteran or just a parent who wants their child to have a head start in the 21st-century bio-economy, there is a seat for you at our bench.

About me
I’m a PhD Geneticist working in the biotech trenches by day and a homeschooling mom of four by night (and early morning!). I started this podcast to help parents move past "baking soda volcanoes" and into the world of real scientific inquiry. Join me every week for a deep dive into the future of biology for you, and a hands-on "Lab Bench" episode for your kids. Let's raise the next generation of thinkers, one experiment at a time.
