Science Rocks! says Janet
Hi. I am fascinated by how the world works and how science attempts to predict and explain the behavior of matter and living things. This early fascination led me to study science in college and become a high school science teacher. I am also fortunate to work as a state park ranger, in the summer, leading programs on local history, hikes, and animals with children, campers and park visitors. As a teacher, I know all too well, the confusion and frustration that can result when students ar... Read more

The Right Personal Connection Can Lead to the Right Brain Connections
Allow me to quickly describe my own educational history. I attended Santa Clara University directly out of high school because Dad, my adoptive father, thought I'd make a good engineer like himself; this was mostly because I had a superior aptitude for math and was pretty good at drawing and computer programming, at least for that time. I attended school there for a year and a term before I began experiencing health problems--since resolved--and tried to switch to performing arts, and my pa... Read more
