Science Role Models

Learning about and getting to know science role models are proven factors in generating student interest in future science careers. The Web offers dynamic new opportunities to help students learn about the diversity in science careers and among the people who “do” science everyday. Role model pages provide information on a scientist, his/her work, how they became interested in science and trained for their career, the advice that they offer students, and links to people and organizations in their specific field.
Examples:
Jennifer Clark, Behavior Ecologist	This role model page corresponds with a unit from the APS book, Women Life Scientists, including an inquiry-based exploration of the behavior of male Betta spendens (Siamese fighting fish).
