I can trace my love for science directly to my elementary school science teacher, Mr. Beaver, who shared his enthusiasm through "science on a cart" as well as field study outside on school grounds. <br />(Still soooo jealous, Karen.

The information came from a survey AAAS conducted of it's members a few years ago.<br /><br />I'd say what you tell the scientists is that you are an expert in communicating their exciting news of their discoveries to kids, and those kids need to be engaged and fascinated by science if we want to inspire them to become the scientists of tomorrow.Melissa Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322048827106827307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488042654610511802.post-30113873613578772272010-06-02T10:43:04.474-04:002010-06-02T10:43:04.474-04:00GREAT stuff, Melissa.

I'm taking off on a NASA-sponsored research cruise to the Arctic, and would appreciate support in explaining why it's so important for them to bring along a children's writer.
