Thanks to your very upbeat Internet endeavor, I can now also tell them, honestly, that it even has cheerleaders (and then refer them to your Web site). You might be interested to know that one of the best students in a chemistry class that I recently taught is also one of the Tennessee Titans cheerleaders. There is a nice new story about her at the link below. http://www.murfreesboropost.com/news.php?viewStory=14452 Amazingly, there is another science whiz on the Titans cheerleading squad. I think Melissa is her name, but she is a biochemistry graduate student at Vanderbilt University. I don't know her personally, however. Both young ladies are aiming to become physicians. I would like to make a suggestion for a citizen science project.- Do It Yourself Cancer Research. Actually, this project was started several years ago at Oxford University. Some details are at the Web sites below: http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/curecancer.html http://www.yubanet.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/59/32700 When I did a piece on this during my regular commentary on the Nashville jazz-format NPR station, there was an excellent response, and a few newspapers later ran the story in print. Your Web site might be able to regenerate interest in this excellent "citizen science" project. I was told that the project was stopped because of funding constraints. If public interest were high enough, perhaps the project could be restarted. Your Web site also asks for "kitchen chemistry" ideas. You probably have already covered the "GAK reaction", but if not, it is described in yet another of my commentaries (link below). http://www.sitnews.us/MacDougall/101305_macdougall.html Best of luck with your science cheerleading in 2009!
