I broke my little toe this weekend, which I mention because while it is completely unimportant (the only things you can do about broken toes is tape and whine, I'm good at both ;-)), I'm using it as an excuse to take some time off this week and post lightly over the next couple. Don't ask me to…
Four years and four months ago, almost to the day, I started a humble little blog way over in a tiny corner of the blogosphere. Back in the day, there were few voices of women scientists in the blogosphere, and even fewer of women computer scientists. I had never had much luck keeping any…

There has been a bit of information & opinion posted about this at the astrolrner discussion group (http://astronomy101.jpl.nasa.gov/discussion/index.cfm), including detailed postings by the AAS Executive Officer and Education Officer.
Perhaps you'd like to post something here about your thoughts on the role of your professional society in science education?
