DDOSC: Your Science Comfort Zone
Not school. Not a course. A chilled place to be curious
Dr Dot’s Online Science Club (DDOSC) is an online membership designed for adults who love ideas, enjoy thinking outside the box, and want a relaxed place to explore science – without tests, lectures or stress.
Need an escape from the daily grind?
You’re in the right place – DDOSC is a calm discovery space, away from all the pressure.
A fun, friendly community with no judgement
You will fit right in! DDOSC members LOVE our chilled Community portal & monthly Lives.
Science without the stress
Experiment videos, easy-to-follow downloads, and confidence-building tips; whenever it suits YOU – and NO tests!
“What are your Lightbulb Moments in the first year of DDOSC?”
Our Founding Members said…
A safe space for conversation actually. Being able to talk about anything and not feel like we are being judged, or made to feel inferior. The best thing is we CAN talk about anything. The idea of debate has disappeared. But we can have it in here.
The Penguins! And I really enjoy being able to still research, and doing the presentations for you guys. I feel like you are learning alongside me, and science isn’t my background. I had a really good time, thank you.
My background isn’t science, but that’s OK, because it’s inclusive and that’s the most important thing. I’ve learned about stuff from contributions everyone has made. It’s a safe space, gives me confidence, helping me to see the world differently.
You don’t have to explore alone.
Science is for sharing. It’s part of our everyday lives. It connects people around the world. And you can connect right here, in DDOSC.

Get Science-Confident
Coming soon! An on-demand mini-course that does what it says on the tin.
Why I started DDOSC:
Because science is everywhere. And it’s for everyone.
Do I need a science background?
No – DDOSC is for all adults, whether you have lots of science experience; or none at all.
If you’re curious, interested in the world around you, and open to new ideas, this is TOTALLY the place for you! Whether you’re a civil servant, brewery worker, science technician, professor of physiology or arts graduate (like some of our current Members!) you’re very welcome here – and we ALL have something to bring. Science is for EVERYone!
I'm already so busy. What if I can't fit this in as well?
DDOSC was designed & built especially for busy (and sometimes frazzled) adults just like you.
Most of our online resources are bite-size and on-demand, so you can dip in and out of the downloads, experiment videos and confidence-building snippets just whenever it suits you. We’ll NEVER “drown you with content” (there’s already TOO MUCH STUFF in the world). Our focus in DDOSC is the real human connection, with our secure, “tech-bro-free” Community portal where you can chat with members just like yourself.
Our Monthly Zoom Lives are specially designed to be a breather during the month. Think of that hour as a wee treat just for yourself, time out from the pressures of everyday life. Enjoy the chilled science chat with fellow Members & Guest Experts and relax together as you find your science confidence growing, then tackle the next day with renewed energy. You have access to all the REPLAYS too so don’t worry if there’s a Live you can’t make.
What if I feel out of my depth?
We ALL feel out of our depth at times. I do too!
But the good thing about DDOSC is it’s a safe space, where you can explore science topics in the company of beginners and experts alike. EVERYone has skills, knowledge and an interesting take to bring, no matter the subject of discussion. NO question is too small (or too big!), & we all learn from each other – but don’t take my word for it; here’s Therese, one of our Founding Members – “You can just turn up and learn stuff, it’s great!”
Is this like a course?
No – there is no set curriculum, no tests or deadlines, and no “homework” to submit.
BUT beware – you may find yourself looking up stuff afterwards as your interest is piqued, continuing discussions in our Community portal, and feeling a bit like a “class” as you get to know your fellow Members over time!
Can I cancel any time?
Yes – you can cancel at any time, no questions asked.
DDOSC is a rolling Monthly Membership, with no minimum sign-up period. We want you to be in complete control of your Membership. If you do need to cancel, just email me (Dorothy Aidulis) at dot@dottyscience.com and I will sort this straight away for you – please allow 24-48h.
It would be very helpful if you could let us know why you wish to cancel. There is no obligation to do this, and your cancellation does not depend on whether you give a reason or not, or what the reason is. It just means I can take this into account in order to keep improving DDOSC, making sure it really does fulfil what our Members actually want and need. We are here for YOU.
