About the author and this site

Hi!

I'm a mom and college instructor who has a passion for bringing science to kids--and especially to girls and other groups underrepresented in science. Studies show that if we can spark interest in science during elementary school--and maintain that spark through the crucial middle school years--then students have an excellent chance of pursuing lucrative and meaningful careers in science.

In particular, I believe in environmental justice and citizen science projects. Why waste your time making an ugly papier-mâché volcano and filling it with vinegar (stinky!) and baking soda (messy!), when your child can be collecting simple data from the neighborhood to help measure neighborhood health?

This site aims, therefore, to provide you with productive means for crafting and conducting meaningful projects for the science fair and for lifelong learning.

Best,
