Plus we’ll learn how a seed goes from a tiny sapling to a towering plant. We find out some fruit facts and hear an all new Mystery Sound.

Daniel Tiger, Elmo, Molly Bloom. What do they have in common? They're all brought to you by public media. Public media is also free news, arts and culture. It's critical information during emergencies. It's live events that bring communities together.

President Trump is trying to cut all federal support for public media, which would seriously harm these super important free services. But YOU can make a difference! Contact your representatives, sign our petition, and make your voice heard. Visit americanpublicmedia.org/action to get started. High five and thanks for having our back.

You listen to the Brains On! podcast with your kids in the car, right? Well, it turns out that’s an ideal place for learning. Seriously. We got science to back it up. Thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation, we teamed up with the Science Museum of Minnesota to study how parents and kids interact as they listen to our podcast, Brains On. We want to share our findings with you on a live webinar on May 8th!

Hey Brains On listeners - On April 28, The White House will deliver a package to Congress requesting the elimination of $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a nonprofit corporation that supports 1,300 local public media stations across the country, as well as American Public Media. This action comes despite a Congressional vote in February that extended federal funding for the CPB through fiscal year 2027.

This proposal would have a devastating impact on public media stations across the country and erode the services that you and so many others rely on – like Brains On Universe. We are asking for your help in showing Congress how important public media is for our nation. Use your voice to oppose cuts to federal funding of public media by signing our petition and pledging your financial support to Brains On now.

Head to americanpublicmedia.org/action to sign the petition and stand with public. media!

Asthma is a disease that can make it hard to breathe. And it’s common! One in twelve people in the United States have it, including host Molly Bloom. But what is asthma? And why do some people have it, but not others?

Join Molly and co-hosts Audrey and Indytas they learn about asthma. First, they’ll shrink down and explore how breathing works — inside Forever Ago host Joy Dolo’s lungs! Then they’ll learn how and why asthma attacks happen. Finally, they’ll chat with kids’ lung doctor Stephanie Lovinsky-Desir about rescue inhalers, and what causes asthma in the first place. All that, plus a breathtaking new mystery sound!
