VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN SCIENTISTS
The AWIS board often receives requests for volunteer support at all types of K-12 and other educational events. Consider giving some of your time to volunteer and be a role model for the next generation--that is the heart of the AWIS mission!
LeAnn Williams (lwilliams@...) will be helping to coordinate requests with our chapter membership. Please peruse the opportunities and consider doing at least one this year! Here's a first event looking for support--Contact LeAnn for more information.
The TEC Summer Science Institute is looking for 3 to 4 presenters on Wednesday, July 12 at Dover Sherborn High School to present to 35-40 Massachusetts science teachers. The teachers are interested in hearing about current topics and cutting edge research. Some topics of interest include (but are not limited to): oncology, cardio vascular, diabetes, aging, stem cell, and bird flu. If you would prefer, the group is open to taking a field trip to meet you on-site.
Below is a brief description of the event and what is scheduled thus far:
The Summer Science Institute for middle and high school science teachers is designed to provide a content rich professional development experience. Teachers from our fifteen member collaborative look forward to this experience each year as a means to be kept abreast of current, cutting edge happenings in science. Participants are all scientists by training who just happen to be teachers. Included in our program this year is Ken Miller, author of Finding Darwin's God, Ed Fox, Systemic Response to Herbivory, Dr. Mark Kirshner author of Plausibility of Life: Darwin’s Dilemma, Peter Alden of the Thoreau Institute and a presentation by the Museum of Science focusing on evolution.
