Welcome to the future! I am posting this from my iPod. That reminds me: last week a review went up on LabLit.com for a book I found at BMV this past summer. Its a textbook for high school kids about science in literature. The book is from 1994 and hilariously outdated. I dont feel like repeating everything I already wrote about it – especially considering Im typing this on a tiny touch screen – so just read the review [update: links don't work from the iPhone app. I had to fix that manually.] Why is Science Important?

I’m on the back cover of The Bulletin, and if you’re at UofT you should pick it up. Alternatively, you can download the original assignment as a PDF (this one has all the footnotes and references in it) Have a look at Janet’s post about judging a science fair. She has behind the scenes photos of a fair she judged, and a report of what it was like. |
