		<description><![CDATA[My own daughters are drawn to reading science  books, probably in large part because their mother is a microbiologist and I just love the stuff, and we both enthusiastically encourage it. But if they weren't well written, telling a rich story, I don't think they'd have anywhere near the interest that they do. On trips to the library they will grab an armful of books about the ocean or physics to take home to read just for pleasure reading.]]></description>

Never having thought about this, I would have chalked bee behavior mostly to some sort of inate ability. The apparent fact that they need to learn makes them much more interesting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From a family of scientists, it is really no surprise that John Craighead George would become one himself. From early on he loved the outdoors and spent many days in the wilderness. He spent some time when he was a young man working at a scientific station in Alaska, and after earning his Ph.D., he returned to work as a field scientist to study the bowhead whales that live year-round in the frigid arctic waters.

		<description><![CDATA[AstroPuppies in Space is an entertaining and very educational kid's video about space exploration. The AstroPuppies are two sock puppets (sock puppies?) who lead you and your kids on a great journey aboard their space shuttle, beginning at Cape Canaveral and traveling on to the Moon. Next stop is the Sun and then on through our solar system. Along the way the puppies ask questions and provide answers to lots of interesting questions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reading between the lines, you wonder just how qualified are the applicants for those STEM, special education and foreign languages, that the jobs go unfilled. Yesterday I wrote about the task Don Mugan has taken on, up in North Dakota. His goal is to train the teachers that the school districts already have in how to teach the core STEM subjects. A good STEM project for our universities would be to clone Don and put a few of his clones in every school district in the country.]]></description>
