Are you a scientist or a teacher? 1000 scientists in 1000 days...

I've got a subscription to Scientific American, and in an email update, I had this brought to my attention:

1,000 Scientists in 1,000 Days is Scientific American's program to help scientists and educators connect. We're looking to match educators with scientists who want to volunteer, for instance, to visit the classroom to conduct a lab or talk about what it's like to be a scientist, explain the latest science, answer questions or act as a resource in other ways. How scientists and educators choose to collaborate is up to them. Scientific American has launched this program with our parent, Nature Publishing Group, as part of our Change the Equation Initiatives.

Anyone who's interested should check out the link. It looks like a cool initiative.

Welcome! If you don't mind me asking, is your better half a scientist, or an educator?

A scientist working on becoming an educator She's applying for teaching jobs now

Awesome! I'm also working on becoming an adult ESL educator, so I'm in the same boat. I wish her all the best!
