Hello Science Educator, we hope you're ready to enjoy the upcoming holiday season! Our newsletter will resume after the new year. There may be delays in communications or orders during the next two weeks as many of our staff take time off to be with their families. — Heather, Tim & Diane
Transform How You See the World
“I was always an ecology-minded, big picture thinker before attending Modeling the Molecular World. Now I have been transformed into seeing the world not only in ecological systems but from the molecular processes that allow life to occur. I can no longer see anything in nature without thinking and wondering about the beautiful molecular machines that are working silently at an incomprehensibly small scale. My experiences at these summer courses* have given me a perspective that has given me a never-ending source of curiosity and wonder. A sense of wonder that brings excitement and engagement to my classroom and my students. The inaccessible world of molecules has come ALIVE! I cannot imagine teaching without the learning and opportunities I have been given through my experiences at the summer courses.”
— Jim Lane, Biology Teacher at Mahtomedi High School
*Modeling the Molecular World (MMW) was previously held by the Center for BioMolecular Modeling which merged with 3D Molecular Designs in August. MMW will continue to be led by Tim Herman, PhD, as it has for the last 20 years.
At the NABT Indy conference last month, we had three sessions with kits going to drawing winners. We wanted to congratulate Mary Gobbett, University of Indianapolis, Matthew Stern, Winthrop University, and Pablo Marin, Bioquimica, for winning a kit!
Attention New Teachers
If you are a new teacher, then make sure you apply for NSTA's Preservice & New Teacher Scholarship. Winners will have their registration for NSTA Atlanta in March paid for. Learn more here. Hopefully we'll see you there!
