OMG … Edublogs removed my main blog — which was here a few months ago and without warning — but fortunately this one survives. Very fortunately because this site is my best reference for the wonderful experiences I had working as a STEM trainer in the Bronx and evidences some of the science workshops I created and conducted for a NYC Title IIB grant. I do have numerous photos from my STEM trainer days online at the Flickr website.  My other work as a teacher and grad student and ALL those blog posts – some of which remain relevant – were unceremoniously deleted. [I wonder if I can get it restored??]

I’ve been busy in the last few years devoting a lot of time and energy to climate action. As a member of the Hurley Climate Smart Task Force I’ve contributed a lot, including our website.

Education is actually a big part of climate action work. To that end, I also completed the Cornell University’s Climate Action Stewards program in New York State. During that time, I put together a Climate Solutions Fair for our town, and I continue to work with my colleagues in our town and county to help others understand what’s happening, to better adapt to those changes and take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The changing climate is one of many pressing issues of the day, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of a positive response to that change.
