Today on Science With Simi, it’s the youngest guest we’ve ever had since we started doing this segment.

And it’s to do with hand dryers. Nora Keegan from Calgary has found that the volume of them is damaging to children’s ears. She’s been studying this since she was just nine. 

I had a chance to catch up with her just before we came on air. Here’s our conversation.
