Sci grew up going to public school. We had some pretty good science teachers, and I remember how hard they worked to make learning fun for us. They raised money to build greenhouses (which I got to work in! Loved that!), raised money to build terrariums (nothing gets girls screaming like bringing a pile of […]
Sci has a sad confession to make My reputation now is at stake! I made a small bet Against the Cuttlefish set For the kids and young scientists’ sake. So please think of giving, large or small, Little is better than naught at all You can benefit kids by filling teacher’s bids And help their […]

Not to recruit while people are young, mind you, to THREATEN. To threaten college students who are interested in science careers and doing animal […]
Sci has been really thrilled to see so much talk over the past few days on women science bloggers, where they are, and why they appear to fly under the radar. But I’ve noticed that, while female science bloggers and female scientists aren’t big fans of comments on their appearance…most of them have no problem […]

One of the things I found particularly interesting is that people don’t seem to KNOW that female science bloggers […]
