Science Moms
Five mothers with backgrounds in science, from immunologist to biologist to toxicologist, talk about raising kids in a culture flooded with parenting advice that ignores evidence. The film follows Alison, Jennifer, Kavin, Layla, and Natalie through interviews at home and with their children, as they explain why they insist on basing decisions about vaccines, pesticides, GMOs, and everyday chemical exposure on peer-reviewed research rather than mommy-blog fear or celebrity endorsement. They describe the backlash they get online for defending vaccination schedules and dismissing organic-food panic, and talk through how they push back against misinformation in parenting groups and on social media. The documentary keeps its focus tight on these five women's daily reasoning rather than staging a broader debate, showing what it looks like to apply a scientific mindset to car seats, sunscreen, and school lunches alike. It is a plain, interview-driven case for evidence over anxiety in parenting.
