Subject: [ASC-list] Hang your slide rules & lab coats by the chimney ...
 
Dear Colleagues,

Hang your slide rules and lab coats hung by the chimney tonight ....

Science-based professionals and students the world over are eagerly
awaiting the World-Wide Day in Science.

The 'Day' is Wednesday, April 12th.

For this 'virtual event,' it takes as little as 10 minutes to illuminate
your career path to bright high school students.

Here is what to do:

1.  Send us a paragraph on the high point of your April 12th, the Day in
Science.

2.  Add a paragraph about where your day's activity fits into your job
and career path.

3.  A third paragraph wraps it up.  Explain what interested you while
you were in high school.  What steered you toward a career involving
science?

4.  Have any digital images or links to add?  Send them along as well.

Send the report to:  [log in to unmask]

All reports go live on the web on June 1st 2006.

Read more about the project at:  www.science.unsw.edu.au/worldwide.

For the World-Wide Day in Science 2005, students and scientists
represented every continent, including Antarctica, with reports in
Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, ...

The project is now poised to host thousands of such reports.  It can
provide a most engaging and comprehensive international career guide in
science.

And, all in just 10 minutes .
