I got about halfway to work today, coughing and hacking, and realized it
wass Not A Good Idea. Not SARS, just a basic (but gross) cold. Sorry...
I expect to be back at the reference desk, fully drugged up, on Wednesday,
but check the Hours-&-Info line at 343-0875 before making a major
expedition to check out a book. (Returns can be given to the
long-suffering Front Desk when I'm not at the museum.) Thanks >cough< for
your patience >hackk, snorkel, COUGH< --

Hello Everyone!
In conjunction with the new collection of life sciences exhibits, Traits of
Life, there will be a world premiere play inspired by Traits of Life! The
play, "Code Blue" is by Tony-award nominated playwright Barbara Damashek
("Quilters"). It's a entertaining look at genome sequencing through the
eyes of those animals and plants who have been sequenced, wrapped up in a
mystery and full of thought-provoking scenes. (I've been a science
consultant for the project, and it promises to be great fun!)
The play will show at 2PM, Saturdays and Sundays through May 10 (April 5/6,
12/13, 19/20, 26/27, May 3/4, 10). Reservations are highly recommended -
call 415-561-0308. Reservations for each weekend close the Thursday
before.
Round out your day at the Exploratorium by attending the play after a
Saturday workshop or spending the morning in the Learning Studio.

I'm thinking of applying for a grant, but I would like
to know if anyone is using or is interested in using
Arcview-GIS programs with their students. While I
don't know yet where I'll be teaching I would like to
do something on habitat/resources using Arcview and
GPS. In particular I want to geocode resources in an
inner-city. If you have access to the program and are
interested in communicating, let me know.
With firm handshake,

National Geographic Society's Education Foundation
Offers Teacher Grants
Deadline: June 12, 2003
The mission of the National Geographic Society's
Education
Foundation (
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/foundation/ )
is to "prepare children to embrace a diverse world,
succeed in a global economy, and steward the planet's
resources."
The foundation's teacher grants are awarded to
educators
to facilitate their work in the classroom, school,
district, and/or
community. Applications are accepted from
any current teacher or administrator in an accredited
K-12 school within the United States. Projects that
feature outreach to urban areas are particularly
encouraged.
The foundation plans to make more than $100,000 in
grants
of up to $5,000 each to help teachers -- or a group of
educators -- make an even greater impact in their
class-
room, school, district, and/or community through
innova-
tive geography education projects. In accordance with
its
mission, the foundation seeks to fund projects in
either
of two broad categories: 1) promoting geographic
knowledge
through education, and 2) promoting stewardship of
natural
and cultural resources.
The Education Foundation is most interested in
projects
that seek to improve student achievement through geo-
graphic literacy. In accomplishing this objective,
projects should include one or more of the following
strategies: explore uses of new technologies; expand
student experiential-learning opportunities; and
engage
families and/or communities in education.
The funds for a project will generally be awarded to
an
organization -- usually an educator's school -- that
can
provide evidence that it is exempt from federal income
tax
under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code,
or
to which contributions are deductible under section
170(c)
(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. All projects should
be
scheduled to begin and end during the 2003-2004 school
year or the summer of 2004.
Online applications are strongly encouraged. See the
Education Foundation's Web site for complete
guidelines
and application forms.
