Inspired to explore science from the perspective of toddlers, we discuss epigenetics with our three-year-old identical, twin daughters in this episode from “Lullaby Theories.” Simple and yet elegant, the science behind gene modification comes easily to these identical twins who notice daily how Same Same but Different they are from each other.
“Certain circumstances in life can cause genes to be silenced or expressed over time. In other words, they can be turned off (becoming dormant) or turned on (becoming active) … What you eat, where you live, who you interact with, when you sleep, how you exercise, even aging – all of these can eventually cause chemical modifications around the genes that will turn those genes on or off over time.” – whatisepigenetics.com

With open hearts and a lens focused on education, we share these project files and details with you, our community, so that you may glean from them something inspirational.
Or tell us how we could have done it more efficiently! We hope our project files may help you in your pursuit of design, animation, and art; but we ask that you respect the artist in these files. In the brush strokes, in the layers of texture, and in each keyframe, sits a person who labored and agonized over their art. So, please use these for educational purposes and steal only the wisdom behind them not the content or ingredients.
Please. Thank you. And godspeed.

When we feel pain, there’s a complex conversation going on between the brain and the body. But we don’t feel pain until the brain interprets these ‘secret messages,’ evaluates the danger, and determines how much pain we should feel.
With the help of science, we may have some control over the amount of pain we feel. “The gate control theory of pain asserts that non-painful input closes the ‘gates’ to painful input, which prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system. Therefore, stimulation by non-noxious input is able to suppress pain.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_control_theory
In this Lullaby Theories episode, “A Secret Message,” four year old twins, Sophia and Lucy discuss pain, the gate control theory, and some ideas to reduce pain with their mother. In doing so, they discover that sometimes it’s as simple as ‘happy life, happy finger.’

Here is episode three in our series on scientific theories. This episode focuses on the science of sleep. An important part of our lives, and one our twin girls are still perfecting. 😉

What could we learn if we discovered a parallel universe–a sister Earth? Would our twin universe exist in the same state as ours? What could we glean from it?
In this episode of Lullaby Theories: Babies & Babies & Babies, twins Lucy and Sophia along with their mother discuss the much-debated inflation theory. In doing so, we discover the importance of scientific inquiry, testing ideas, and open discourse. What’s your theory? Let’s debate and test it!
Hope you enjoy the episode! It’s our longest one yet.
