The students returned this past weekend full of stories and positive experiences. They were so clever and curious at that age-it was a pleasure. These days, many people need to be reminded that we are in charge of our own destiny. With work, we can get exactly what we want.
Science is a medium for that message.
We work to understand, and then use the understanding to shock people with astounding experiments. The students had a chance to meet with staffers from the offices of Senator Edward Kennedy and Representative Joseph Kennedy while they were in Washington. With Senator Kennedy's staff they met with the K-12 education advisor and the national community service advisor in a lively session that lasted more than twice the time alloted. The other students participating in the project were Tam Nguyen, Tera Hoefle, Mandy Mobley, Carina Fung, Angela Chou, Mary Ying, Chelsea Russell, Katin Shields, Cristina Perez de la Cruz, Misha Hill, Carrie Heitman, Matthew Gray, Kikuyu Matthews, Sean Yetman, Margaret Tsai, Rhonda Patton, Teresa Huang, Kalpana Mani and Minh Dinh.
