Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Education--Thank you, World Leaders,

In a story by Chloe Albanesius you'll find, "President Obama on Monday unveiled a campaign intended to promote science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education among children – an effort that includes about $260 million in financial support from companies like Time Warner Cable, Discovery Communications, Sony, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation"

Thank you, President Obama.

All other World leaders encouraging, "STEM," are thanked, too.

Readers, please submit what your leaders are doing regarding science literacy and science education (e-mail me and I will post your message).

A "flatworm" look at stem cells...

Students present research as do senior faculty. Dr. J's community college students, 4-year college students, high school and even one elementary student have presented research at National scientific meetings. It started with presenting the research in the classroom. Try doing a lab and then holding a mini-meeting on the lab. The above example of a student's presentation on flatworm regeneration is also about a timely topic: stem cells.
