American Association for the Advancement of Science




A few months ago two science educators in Corpus Christi Texas submitted a proposal. In a nutshell, one educator is from the awesome Texas State Aquarium. The other teaches at TAMUCC. They wanted to go to the AAAS conference and proposals were being accepted for a fully funded trip. Over 4000 proposals were submitted, only 100 selected. Yeah - we're in! I can't wait - 2 days of seminars related to increasing public awareness of climate change followed by 3 days of AAAS science meetings - many related to climate change. We're charged with creating new climate change exhibits at the aquarium (her job) with curriculum designed for schools to accompany visits by children and adults (my job). Excited?? I cannot wait!!!
