March Update

This month I'm going to the National Science Teachers Association Conference in Philadelphia.  I'll moderate the symposium I arranged on science writing called "Spreading the Word: Writing Science to Fascinate an Everyday Audience," with speakers Franklin Hoke, Karen Kreeger, and Mike Lemonick.  I'm also going to moderate a session given by Deborah N. Harris called "Where Have All the Trees Gone?"  I'm looking forward to both, and to visiting lots of other sessions and all the exhibits!
