Fringe Unveils Science Sites

If your kids start asking about shape-shifters and alternate universes, don't be too scared.

"Everything we do is grounded in some version of authentic fringe science and what scientists believe is possible," says exec producer Jeff Pinkner, who's thrilled to be a part of "anything that can help invest kids in learning."
