Why are these guys making cartoons?
>PBS KIDS will premiere a brand-new animated series on Labor Day 2020. Elinor Wonders Why centers on Elinor and her friends Ari, a funny and imaginative bat, and Olive, a perceptive and warm elephant. As the kids explore Animal Town, they will meet all kinds of interesting, funny, and quirky characters, each with something to teach us about respecting others, the importance of diversity, caring for the environment, and working together to solve problems.
>The show comes from o-creators Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson. Cham is the cartoonist behind the popular online comic Piled Higher and Deeper (a.k.a. PHD Comics). He holds a PhD in Robotics from Stanford University and is a former Instructor and Research Associate at Caltech. Whiteson is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Irvine, and a fellow of the American Physical Society. He earned his PhD in Physics from the University of California at Berkeley and is an active researcher, using the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to search for exotic new particles. The two have collaborated on several projects aimed at exploring science-related questions with humor, including a book (We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe) and a podcast (Daniel & Jorge Explain the Universe).
