Who is Jason Lindsey?
Jason Lindsey is an award-winning outreach
science educator. Jason studied science
and journalism at Western Kentucky University
where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree.
At WKU Jason focused on general science with
an emphasis in meteorology and climatology.
Jason has worked diligently for more than 10
years to take science beyond the classroom
window. Each year he performs hands-on
science experiments at schools and community
events throughout southern Illinois, western
Kentucky, and southeast Missouri. His hands-on, kid-friendly science classes are
offered throughout the year and have helped hook hundreds of kids on science.
Jason previously worked as a meteorologist, backpack journalist, science reporter, and
webmaster at WKAG-TV, WBKO-TV, KGWN-TV, and KFVS-TV. Jason now produces a
science segment called “Hooked on Science.” The segment airs on television stations
across the nation and has earned awards for outstanding science coverage from the
Illinois Broadcasters Association and the Missouri State Teachers Association. In 2008
Jason teamed up with KZIM KSIM to bring more science to southern Illinois, western
Kentucky, and southeast Missouri via the radio. You can discover Jason’s popular
hands-on science experiments in newspapers throughout southern Illinois, western
Kentucky, and southeast Missouri each week. Jason is also over an after school
program in Illinois where he works with more than 50 at-risk kids each day.
Jason is actively involved in bringing more science to America. October 3rd has been
proclaimed "Science Day" by city, county, and state leaders throughout the nation. On
Friday, September 29th, 2006 Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson made a speech on the
floor of the U.S. House of Representatives recognizing "Science Day." Emerson
highlighted the importance of science in Missouri and commended Jason for promoting
science. Emerson's remarks were recorded and published in the Congressional Record.
On October 3, 2008 Jason organized "Science
Day 2008." Hundreds of kids, young and old,
put Cape Girardeau,Missouri into the record
books. The residents of southeast Missouri,
southern Illinois, and western Kentucky blew up
852 balloons in an hour breaking the previous
record of 600 balloons. At Science Day 2007
folks from across southeast Missouri launched
more than 1000 "Mentos and soda fountains"
breaking the previous record of more than 800
launched in the Netherlands.
Jason is married to Lena Lindsey. They keep busy with their four kids Conner, Ethan,
Brynna, and Madigan.
