The Kid Should See This  • April 29, 2025

🌐 WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK:

Researchers develop the first 3D hologram you can touch and move ➜

🎥 Maybe a decade ago, The Atlantic made original short-form videos like Animalism by Pulitzer Prize winner Ed Yong and a series of quick animated histories about Housing, Sports, Light, and Transportation. 

Some of my favorite videos from that era are from their Life Up Close animations, including Amber, A Substance Like Nothing Else on Earth, and Wolves: How do we solve the problem of predators? 

Life Up Close was a collab with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), a research giant investing in science education. Their partnerships include Crash Course Biology, Wild Hope, Breakthrough, and Beautiful Biology, all worth checking out. HHMI Tangled Bank Studios documentaries are great, too.

A few more recommendations:

🎧 The Windbreaker: Why Farts Make the World Go Round is an entertaining and super informative new episode from Radiolab for Kids: Terrestrials.

📺 If you have Netflix, check out Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey, a conservation documentary for the whole family (age 8+) by Pippa Ehrlich, the director of My Octopus Teacher (also great ICYMI).
